Census records show that County Leitrim has experienced almost continuous population decline since Famine times, the trend being reversed only in very recent years. Thousands upon thousands of Leitrim natives have been scattered to the four corners of the globe. No doubt a good many of these came from Dromahair.
So what became of them? Where did they settle? Did they prosper? Did they return to Dromahair, permanently or just for a visit? There is so much we could ask these ex-pat Dromahairians, if only we knew where to find them.

Now, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we can easily communicate with people all over the world. So, if you are a Dromahair ex-pat, we'd love to hear from you. If you left in 2011 or 1981 or 1951, please get in touch: tell us your story. If you're back in Dromahair, with tales to tell of life on foreign shores, share them here. If you are the son or daughter of a Dromahair emigrant, or a grandson or grand-daughter, drop us a line: let us know how the family fared. If you think you might have Dromahair roots and need a little assistance with your genealogical digging send us your details and we'll do our best to help.
