Travelled to Ballinasloe, Ireland today to see where my great grandfather lived. He left from this train station in 1911 to immigrate to America.

Paige that’s very kool. Not many of us can say that
It was fun. I had hoped to find relatives but that did not work out. Next time 😎.
Historic looking place…
We learned while we were at the train station today that Ballinasloe has the oldest fair in Europe. The Horse Fair dating back to the 18th century. We missed it this year by a week or so.
Wow…a step back in time for sure…cheers.
Thanks!
A nice warm feeling knowing that my grandfather left a lovely little town for his life in America
It is a cute town. Google oldest fair in Europe.
fun times learning about your life’s history…
It can be addicting! The bummer is that I got interested after the people that could have helped supply answers have passed away. 😕
