Anne I have walked in at the HC but they don't show you records. Exactly what date will you be there? I arrive ont he 9th and leave Nov. 6th. Maybe we can connect. Meelick is in the Swinford Church book and that is where you would go for records. It is the North Mayo Center and Aileen is a very nice lady who takes time for you. North is Swinford and the next neighbor Kiltimagh in the Killaden Parish is in the South.
