| Summary: | Sligo is nestled between Mayo and Leitrim in the Northwest. Its population of oer 180,000 in the 1840's reduced dramatically after the Great Famine through death and emigration to North America and elsewhere. It has grown over recent decades and is now 65,000. This book sets out the records available for Sligo, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect in tracing Sligo families. |
