101 Mayo People
Tomorrow, Saturday November 14, at 2pm the Mayo Genealogy Group launches the 101 Mayo People project on www.ouririshheritage.org Many Mayo people have been recognised for their various achievements, and several of these famous people have biographies and articles recorded about their lives in Mayo and abroad. Mayo Genealogy Group would like to include the stories of some not so famous people, whom the members would like to acknowledge in this project. They would also like to invite contributions to their collection in order to celebrate and remember those who have passed; every life story deserves to be told; they will add new people on an ongoing basis. If you have a story to tell contact them at [email protected].
