County Mayo, which is located on the west coast of Ireland in the province of Connacht, had a population at the time of the Great Famine of almost half a million. The haemorrhage of emigration in the past century and a half has reduced the population to a little over one fifth of this figure. Emigration has generated a Mayo Diaspora of millions. In recent years there have been an increasing number of people eager to discover more about their Mayo Roots.
