Raftery's from Loughrea Co Galway

My Dad, John Raftery (1894-1985), was from the Loughrea area but he came to the US in 1925. Another brother came to the US, but one brother and sister, stayed in Loughrea (Caher). I gather my grandfather/ John Raftery was from Garracloon and married into the Gilchrist (sp varies)family/farm in Loughrea. A cousin and family are still there.
