The Leitrim Genealogy Centre has been set up to deal with enquiries from people who want to trace their Leitrim ancestors. The difficulty faced by many people who travelled from many lands to trace their Leitrim ancestors was that source material was scattered throughout the county and elsewhere. All the available sources have now been gathered in one place and the Leitrim Genealogy Centre and the Leitrim County Library have combined to provide a full time professional genealogy service for County Leitrim. Experienced researchers carry out research at the centre. Enquiries can be dealt with by calling the centre or by writing giving all available details.
