The Cork Gallwey/Galway family may be of Hiberno-Danish descent like the Cotters and Coppingers. They are remarkable for their survival skills appearing in Cork records from the 13th century and after many changes in religon, wealth are still prevalent not only in Ireland but in branches in France, Spain, Portugal, the West Indies and as well as the usual areas of Irish Emigration.
