Comments about this page
I feel as though i belong here, though up till last year i was unaware of Gort, till i traced my Family tree back to here. To see information about the town, The people living here and what Gort was like in 1850`s has been so interesting and then reading i saw a link and clicked on it and there was a map Showing Gort and Athenry., my late partner used to sing “the Hills of Athenry”, so now i know where that is too. I hope all of you there are Keeping Safe and well,, and though i have not found my ancestors on the census does not mean they were not there,, as there were many blanks on the pages.
