From the earliest settlement of the Norman soldiers and merchants, Galway built on its' French relations and, indeed, families.

They used their families and marriages to create a network of trained reliable workers. From the planting, to the winnowing and grinding, to ship owning, insuring, sailing as cargo agents, and as purchasers they extended this network from Ireland to the European continent to the Caribbean to Atlantic American colonies.
