Genealogy
Clew Bay Heritage Centre runs a very successful Genealogical Research Service for Westport and the Clew Bay Area.
This service is backed up by an extensive computer database, based on Church records, schools registers, rent rolls, cemetery records, census returns, local newspapers and street directories. We also have a wide network of local people with an exhaustive knowledge of the area, people and places.
Some comments from satisfied customers:
"Thank you for the best Christmas present I have received in my life. I cannot find words to express my appreciation of your wonderful efforts on my behalf, only to say a humble THANK YOU". F.Ferris, Cumbria, England
"Words cannot express the marvellous job you have done for this family. When the letters arrived this morning, my first call was to my mother and aunt (80 and 90 years of age). All sorts of memories were triggered by the information you sent." M.E. Chambers, Cleveland, Ohio.
