Michael was born 5th Nov. 1847 in County Galway, Ireland, and he married Hannah Lynch b. 25 Feb 1849, County Cork. His parents were, Michael Cullen b. 1801 Galway and Mary Jennings b. 1809 Ireland. Michael and Hannah emigrated to U.S.A.. I am trying to find which village, town or city in County Galway Michael Joseph was born in but have not had any success so far. Any help in solving this puzzle would be greatly appreciated.
