    I am looking for information on "The Home" in Tuam, a mother/baby home. It was part of the original Tuam Workhouse. There is little to no documentation on this place. I have a relative that was born there in 1937. If you have info, please let me know. Thanks

    Hi Heidiresk

    I am not sure but maybe someone in The Old Tuam Society might be able to help or point you in the right direction. I'll try and get a number or email address for you and I'll pm it to you.

    Good luck with your search.
