Hi!First, I'd like to know if you have any information on the siblings of Patrick McGarvey. I assume they remained in Derrybeg. I may be related to you through them. I don't know how much you know about the McGarveys of Derrybeg. There are quite a lot of them there, and as far as I know they're all related to each other. Your grandfather would have been an Irish speaker, since Derrybeg is an irish-speaking district to-day. The Irish form for McGarvey is Mac Gairbhith or Mac Gairbheith, but you would be Eibhlín Nic Gairbheith, since you're a woman. Your great grandmother was probably Caitlín Ní Ghallchóir, which is one of the most common surnames in Derrybeg. Derrybeg belongs to the parish of Gaoth Dobhair, or Gweedore, which is the singer Enya's place of birth.
