Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Galway came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Galway in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Galway. We hope that they will be useful to you.
