I love history and have a deep love for my family’s history. Before my grandmother passed away, her and I went back to Bremen (Ohio) where she grew up so she could show me the Presbyterian Church that she went to and the land that her family used to own. <br />I happened to stumble across your page as I was doing research on the name Larimer. And I thought it was amazing that you had a copy of the Robert Larimer story (which my grandmother had a copy of that exact same story, the print copy that I looked at the other night looks exactly the same as yours that you posted). As I was researching how to find records through the databases that Ireland provides to the public I stumbled across some interesting information. A particular page mentioned that Gallagher is actually the reduced anglicized version of Gaelic “ O Gallchobhair” which means “descendent of Gallchobhar”. From what I remember reading Gallchobhar means something like “eager aide”. I would love to chat. I just don’t feel too comfortable putting lots of information out there via a comment lol.
