South Mayo Family Research Centre

The South Mayo Family Research Centre is in Ballinrobe, County Mayo, and specialises in genealogy for the southern part of the county.

Centres like this hold and index local records – parish registers, land and civil records – and can help visitors trace ancestors back to particular townlands and families. Staff are used to working from limited starting information, so even a surname and a rough parish can be a useful beginning. It is best to make contact in advance with whatever details you have, so that research can be under way before you arrive in Ballinrobe.
