Search for relatives of babies buried at Tuam extends to US, Canada and UK - Wayne O'Connor
#DNA samples will be taken from people in the US and Canada in the hope they might provide matches to the remains of children found at the site of the former mother and baby home in Tuam, Co Galway.
Research by historian Catherine Corless more than a decade ago found up to 796 babies may be buried on the grounds of the Tuam home, based on death records.

The most gruesome tale of denying dignity to dead, abuse by #Church & State,796 children were buried in the sewage system. It was run by #BonSecoursSisters, #ODAIT exhumes the dead from the Horror Burials in #Tuam #CountyGalway #Ireland.
On meeting last Tuesday with #ODAIT team, over tea in the afternoon one of our members asked if we could go away as before. We have missed so many birthday celebrations and survivor/family milestones.
So on Wednesday morning I booked our first post-covid night away for next

Or if so did it cause her premature death within the year of all children being removed from their home. I only know she never saw them again.
I visited her grave when I knew for sure excavation works were commencing, when we got confirmation from #ODAIT.
