Does anyone recognize this building? I am trying to extend my family tree and need to find any McHugh and Connolly family members to do so.
My great-grandmother was Delia (Bridget) Mchugh, born in 1872 Her father was John McHugh and her mother was Bridget Deacy(?). She had at least one sister named Sarah (not sure if that was her frist name, her given name, or if it was a nickname derivative of something else). She also had a brother named Patrick. I have a letter written to her by her mother that was sent to NY, US where Delia emigrated. It has the parish Caltra listed on the letterhead, which I know is in Galway. However, this building is in County Mayo. Delia McHugh married John Connolly and they had five children after they moved to New York, US. They were Mary J.. Sarah A., Kathleen C., James P., and John. Delia died in 1932. Her father John J. McHugh died in 1923 at 67 years old.
Any information about their ancestors would greatly appreciated.
Hello!
My name is Kaitlyn Gullickosn, I live in the US, Delia/Bridget McHugh is my great-great grandmother! My great grandmother is Mary J- Her married name was Gillen. My grandmother on my dad's side was her daughter.

Hi!
My name is Anna, I'm from the US, and Sarah McHugh (Delia/Bridget McHugh's younger sister) is my great-grandmother! Her daughter, Agnes, is my grandmother, and Agnes left me a pretty detailed letter a few years back about how Sarah came to immigrate to the US, eventually lived for a time with Delia and her husband John Connelly in Brooklyn, and then married John's cousin, Daniel Connelly. I'm new to exploring my geneology, but it would be great to connect at some point and exchange any information we have about the family. :-)
Best wishes,
Anna
Greetings McHughs,
I'm Maureen, Anna McHughs granddaugther. My grandmother is from Castlebar, Co. Mayo and she had a sister named Delia. Gullicksons are also my cousins and they had stayed with my grandmother. All the names mentioned in the above links sound familiar on my family tree. Anna came to settle in Brooklyn, NY and had eleven children and many cousins as borders. Would love to know if we're from the same McHughs.
Best, Maureen.
