Tuam Site Yields 22 More Infant Remains | Seattle News

Twenty-two more infant remains have been unearthed at Ireland’s Tuam mother and baby home, bringing the total to ninety-nine — a grim discovery at a site once run by the Bon Secours Sisters. Hidden beneath asphalt and gravel for decades, these coffins were found in an area never marked as a burial ground, adding to earlier finds of seventy-seven bodies. The excavation, launched in 2025 after historians uncovered records of nearly 800 infant deaths with no known graves, continues as forensic teams work to identify the children and their families. Sixty-two relatives have already donated DNA samples, and officials urge anyone with potential connections to come forward. The investigation is expected to last until at least 2027, as Ireland seeks to honor the lost children and bring closure to grieving families.
