that can help you with you family history searches for your Galbraith relatives and
ancestors. It will also include web pages, hints, success stories, and discoveries
that may just point you in a direction you never thought of looking before.
Check back often to see additions as this page will continue to grow and grow as
valuable items come in. If you have a success story, that took you through some
twists and turns, really taxed your investigative skills, and FINALLY discovered

We have posted a rather signifcant
GEDCOM
listing for the Galbraiths of Pennsylvania. It is very informative and useful.
If your relatives settled in the Pennsylvania area, it would be a good idea to
take a look at these records.
CAUTION: We have recently determined that some of the major lines that have
long been thought to descend from the "John of Ireland" ancestor in this
file are not genetically connected. This was determined by DNA testing of
descendants of some of these lines. The file is now under review and will be soon
revised to reflect these discoveries.
We have posted the GEDCOM file itself so that you can download it, and in addition, we have a Pennsylvania Galbraiths searchable webpage for your convenience on which to search. Hope that you will find this information beneficial.

I found a great web site that has .jpg files of all the state maps from the United States in 1895. They are all downloadable, and during my research, have found these to be an amazing tool, especially as an aid to census record lookup. Nice site: http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/ . (note: This site may no longer be active. You might try https://www.usgenweb.org/ instead.)
This location gives you an opportunity to look up the contact information from any county in the United States. Trying to find the right contact for the County Clerk and Recorder in the county in which your Great-Great Grandfather lived? This is a great place to start: http://vitalrec.com/usmap.html/
