Anne said: Also, can you just walk into a Heritage Centre and look at records, or do you have to make an appointment? Hi Anne I was over in Ireland on holiday for two weeks, not intending to do any research particularly as I didn’t know what was available really but noticed the Mayo Centres on the map we purchased. We visited the North Mayo Centre and they did a search for me there and then whilst I waited. The also contacted the South Mayo Centre. The cost of one search of database is 30 euros but I was able to walk round the museum free (normally 6 euros) but also had a drink in the café there. I think I waited about 45 minutes. Good luck Regards June Chatterton Sheffield, UK

Hi Anne, I do not believe that you can have access to records yourself other than in a locale like Dublin.  As June indicates their is normally a fee, in fact the 30 euros is just a tip in essence to inform one whether you are within the region of your ancestors.  Will cost anywhere from $ 150 - 189 to secure the data in printed format. Enjoy your heritage while in Ireland by talking with people, eating good fare, and having a drink of ale.
