From Mayo, Ireland to Mayo, Quebec: The History of the Settlement of Mayo, Quebec - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In this history of Mayo, Quebec, we follow the early Irish settlers who came to Canada to build a new life. We see how Mayo grew from a lumber country to a farming community to a bustling municipality with a church, schools, stores, cheese factories, and industries. We discover where these pioneers settled, how they sustained themselves and how they created the spiritual, educational and political institutions needed to enrich their lives.
Firsthand accounts and newspaper articles provide an insight into the everyday life of the early residents of Mayo. Stories of the log drives, church life, school life and dance hall events show a tight-knit and very social community; a community that pulled together during tragedy and happiness.
For those researching their family roots in Mayo, find out whether your ancestors helped to create the first Mayo schools, served as mayor or ran the post office. Knowing where your ancestors lived and their ties to the community provides an insight into their lives not normally gleaned from family tree research.
An account such as this has never been written about Mayo and will instill a new respect for these early pioneers.
