Tracing Your
Irish Ancestors,
by
,
2006. 6x9", 550 pages, softbound book.
Arguably the best book ever written on
Irish genealogy. Not since Margaret Falley's Irish and Scotch-Irish Ancestral
Research, written in the early 1960s, has there been a book that combines
all the best features of a textbook and a reference book, expertly describing
the various steps in the research process while at the same time providing an
indispensable body of source materials for immediate use. With its step-by-step
instructions in the location and use of genealogical records, its discussion of
civil records of birth, marriage, and death, along with land records and wills,
and its list of Roman Catholic parish records and county source lists, it is
easily the most useful book in Irish genealogy. Now, updated to reflect the
enormous changes brought about by the Internet, the new Third Edition of
Tracing Your Irish Ancestors marks another huge step forward in Irish
genealogy. Most importantly, a chapter has been added that deals specifically
with the Internet, while a new online subsection showing county Internet sources
has been added to each of the county source lists and, where possible,
references have been given throughout for any online versions of the records
dealt with. In addition, in this new Third Edition the Roman Catholic parish
maps have been completely revised and redrawn, a guide to variant parish names
has been supplied, and the reference section has been greatly enlarged.

repositories outside of Edinburgh. In addition, there are six appendices

addresses, and lists of parishes, counties, and commissariots. Profusely
