I’m trying to locate any information on my 4x Grandfather Michael Rabbitt and his family.

All I know is that he was born in the parish of Killimore (near Loghrea) co.Galway abt.1825.

I don’t know either of his parents names or if he had any siblings, would anyone know of any good websites and/or local researchers who may be able to help – this has been a brick wall for over 6 months and I’m ready to throw in the towel!!

PS. I have all the information coming forward in time from Michael, I just want to take it back a step

Cheers, Glen.
