    You'll index County Mayo.

    I was told a long time ago NOT to do that. This was before Community Help. Since I've seen the Illinois doing that, I have been. Just making sure I was doing right.

    It depends on the specific project whether you're supposed to expand "Co." to "County" or not, but for Irish counties, don't leave it off: if it was written on the document, index it. "Mayo" without the "County" could be one of four different townlands in four different counties in Ireland (none of them County Mayo).
