Family History Reports
The centre specialises in the production of individually researched comprehensive family history reports. These reports are attractively presented as hardbound volumes and consist of all existing genealogical records relating to your Sligo ancestral lineage, from the earliest ancestor found on record to the early years of the 20th century. You will discover in these specially commissioned reports, who your ancestors were, the history of the locality they came from and something of their lifestyle. Facsimilies of relevant genealogical documents will be incorporated with maps which will often lead you to the location of your former ancestors home. To view sample pages from a typical family history report, click on the link below.
Single Record Search The Centre also provides a record search facility for experienced researchers who are seeking specific genealogical records only. Location Search A location search endeavours to identify the Parish or townland, where your ancestors came from, thereby enabling you to visit the place they once resided. As part of the location search, you are provided with a map of the area outlining the area relevant to your search and a certificate stating that your ancestors once resided in this area.

Personal Consultation If you are visiting the centre and need some assistance with your own research, then a personal consultation with an experienced researcher can be arranged in advance. The researcher will assist you with all the professional advice they can, from their experience dealing with family history research. Same Day Research Facility For persons visiting the area with a limited time available, and who wish to have research carried out, we offer a 'Same Day Search Facility'. Persons wishing to avail of this service must bring all their family information with them on visiting the centre. Contact the centre for more details. Clan Gatherings, Family Reunions, School Reunions & Summer/Autumn schools Sligo Heritage and Genealogy Centre are now involved in the organising of and facilitation of Clan Gatherings, Family Reunions and School Reunions. These events involve social outings, cultural tours to historical sites, lectures and ancestral trails. We also have plans to become involved in Summer/Autumn Schools with a Genealogy theme if sufficient numbers express an interest. Apart from the genealogical, cultural and educational content of the School we hope to include social events such as golfing, fishing, walking, traditional Irish music and dancing.

Family Crests The Family Crests are Irish made and are skilfully hand painted on copper by our team of professional heraldic artists. They are then mounted on a mahogany base with a choice of sizes. Enclosed with each wall plaque is a certificate of authenticity, giving details of the arms, crest, motto and reference source. They are very popular as wedding and anniversary gifts, heirlooms for grandchildren, a presentation piece to a colleague or simply that little something you've always wanted.
