Finding Your Family in our spiral bound Irish County Books
This illustrated,indexed book, was created exclusively to help you find your family in this county in Ireland. A full color map of the county from the 1800’s graces the cover. Focusing specifically on families within the county, it includes an introduction to research and sources in this county. The most numerous families from birth records are given, as well as rather rare Galway families found in heraldic records. Included you will find a listing of modern parishes and old townlands, along with the address and location of records for more research. Published by the Irish Genealogical Foundation, this guide book was originally made for members researching in in the county.

Including
This work includes copies of actual records (some worn, torn and faded), from the IGF Library. It also includes rough sketches of family coats of arms and notes from centuries past – seldom found elsewhere. The resources provided here will help research any family in the county, including old Irish families, and settler families from England, Scotland, Wales and the continent. This book is a hands on guide for finding your family in the county- some family history is included – but it is not a gigantic collection of family histories . (For that see ‘The Book of Irish Families, great & small’, the first book in the Irish Families series by O’Laughlin.) It may or may not include your family.

Is Your Name in the Book?
3) Search for your surname in the master index to all of our books here:
http://www.irishroots.com/content/view/21/45/ . That will tell you if your specific surname is included in most of our books. Remember our spiral bound books are to acquaint you with records and resources within each county, which will help you even if a specific name is not found in a given book.

Irish Genealogy and History Links for October

www.Irishroots.com   The Irish Roots Cafe

Random Links
Today I am sharing a few links of  interest
that I came across in October.  It still amazes
me that ‘millions’ of records are regularly
being advertised on genealogy web pages.

Millions of genealogy records now.
That’s because when I first typed in a search
for Irish genealogy, (decades ago), only two
or three hundred sources came up on the
search engines, with scanty information.

Todays Links
Here are todays curious links:
