Tracing your Mayo Ancestry

If you’re looking for an expert to trace your North Mayo family history you’ve come to the right place. The majority of our research work is through private commissions from individuals from all over the world. Genealogy and interest in family history has always been intriguing but the potential for people to know more about their ancestors has grown thanks to television programmes such as Who Do You Think You Are?, DNA Journey, and Genealogy Roadshow.

Two things we are most often asked are, “How far back can you go?” and “How much it will cost?”. Realistically, until we have a starting point from our client its impossible to know, as every case is unique. Each project we carry out is unique, with individual stories, twists and turns. One thing that each project has in common is that every family has a story, and every story leaves a trail of evidence behind. A trail that our researchers are experts in following.

Obviously, research takes time, which is why we ask that you contact our researchers well in advance of your visit to explore your family history in Mayo. This will ensure you get the best benefit from the research we conduct for you.


Please note that due to demand for our services we can no longer conduct research projects at short notice, or on a same day basis. Each project we undertake is uniquely different and we aim to tailor our services to meet your needs and resources. We will discuss and agree our fees with you in advance before undertaking any work.
