If you are planning on visiting the location of your family homestead or townland why not engage our team to help you explore the area.
Our research team is based in County Mayo, and we have extensive knowledge of the local area. We can provide detailed research identifying the location of your ancestral home, supported by historical maps, modern maps, GPS coordinates, and—where available—photographs of the site or surrounding area.
Townland names are a fascinating resource and understanding their meaning, including the origin of the name from the original Irish name, can help create a stronger connection with your ancestors. We can often use our understanding of townland names to ‘read’ the landscape and help us get a better picture of the area both now and in the past.
