If you are beginning your family history search, Mayo County Library’s Local Studies Department offers advice and assistance on how to get started.
Based at Castlebar Library, the department brings together material about the history and heritage of County Mayo for readers to consult.
Its service welcomes people interested in local, social or family history, whether they are exploring a family connection or learning about a place.
The library’s genealogy page introduces resources available in paper and on microfilm at the department and links to the county’s two Family History Centres.
Use the official service page to explore those resources and to prepare your questions before asking for help getting started.
