Mayo County Library Service are delighted to announce a unique, free genealogy event on Saturday, November 23rd, at Castlebar Library.
In partnership with the North Mayo Heritage Centre and the South Mayo Family Research Centre, the library will host free genealogy consultations between 10am and 4pm throughout the day.
Ger Delaney and Brendan Walsh, family history researchers at the two centres, will be in attendance to help you on a one-to-one basis to get started with your family history research, or to assist with any questions you may have about your own research. The North Mayo Heritage Centre and the South Mayo Family Research Centre are the two Irish Family History Foundation accredited research centres in Mayo. Together they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this free event, having assisted numerous people over the years to trace their ancestors, including the outgoing US President Joe Biden who visited the North Mayo Heritage Centre in Enniscoe during his trip to Ireland in April 2023.
Booking is essential for this free event, and spaces are strictly limited. To book your place, phone 096-31809 between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
