TRACING YOUR IRISH ANCESTORS

Professional Genealogist John Grenham has written a book that combines all
the best features of a textbook and a reference book, a book that carefully
explains the elements of Irish research while at the same time providing an
indispensable body of source materials for immediate use.
Thus in Part l the most basic genealogical sources are gathered together
and discussed in light of a research project, while in Part 2 sources which
have a more advanced application are examined. And in Part 3 there is a
reference guide to a comprehensive range of materials including county
source lists, printed family histories, and church records.
Here are some of the highlights of Tracing Your Irish Ancestors: Maps of
all Catholic parishes, checklist of sources for wills and testamentary
records, list of manuscripts in the Genealogical Office in Dublin,
itemization of passenger and emigration lists, various county by county
source lists, complete listing of family histories in the National Library
of Ireland, complete listing of all Church of Ireland parish registers, and
a listing of Irish research services, societies, and repositories.
The tremendous growth of interest in Irish family history since the
publication of the first edition of Tracing Your Irish Ancestors has
brought to light many new sources and has radically changed the way in
which some familiar sources can be used. These developments--along with a
need for updates and revisions to the existing text--are the primary reason
for publishing a new edition which includes an expanded account of Northern
Ireland repositories and a more comprehensive description of the holdings
of the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
But the most significant advance in this 2nd edition is the inclusion of a
list of Roman Catholic parish records--a 150-page list of copies of all
known Roman Catholic records that can be found in the National Library of
Ireland, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, the LDS Family
History Library, and in local Irish Heritage Centers. County by county and
church by church, this list gives the dates, locations, and formats of all
existing copies of baptism, marriage, and burial records. Keyed to parish
and county maps, it is perhaps the single most important finding aid
available to the genealogist.
