Irish Roots Cafe

Top 10 Sources In The Genealogy Tent
We are in the Genealogy Tent in Dublin, Ohio
this weekend.  (Aug. 5,6,7).  You will not find all
these sources and research aids anywhere else.
Here is what the Irish Roots Cafe will have for you:

A) Launch of Irish Hedge School CD/DVD set.

1) Irish Genealogy and Family History CD.
This includes my tips and experiences over
the last 30 years of Irish Family research.
No, it is not a gigantic compilation of records.
It is my advice on how to successfully find your
Irish ancestors !  (I’ll throw in our beginners
guide to Irish Family research to make the
set complete for the festival ! )
Signed copies available.

We will also be launching our other CDs
from the Irish Hedge School:

2) The Irish Song and Recitation CD launch
Old style ‘Sean Nos’ singing as well as the
well known tunes from Tin Pan Alley. The songs
are from myself and my friends, in all stages of
song development.  Come sing your song too.

We may want to record you for a song podcast!

3) Hello Fada CD Launch.
Special and fun notes on the Irish language for
beginners.  This is our hedge school year one
selection from our Hello Fada podcasts.  Learn
an Irish Song, say simple phrases, and grow
to understand a bit more about the language.
Renata Rua and I are your hosts.

4) Hedgerow History Lessons CD.
Here you can learn about some Irish History you
need to catch up on !  These are our year one
selections from the Hedgerow History podcast.
Peter Reilly Adams and I are your hosts.

5) Irish in America CD.
This years hedge school selection is the audio
book based on the “Missouri Irish” book.  It
goes from the earliest days of Missouri, starting
before statehood and running to modern times.
It is a companion to our ‘Missouri Irish’ book.
Molly is the narrator for this work and will be
on hand. Signed copies available.

6) Irish Video Shorts DVD.
Our complete first year of videos, introducing
the Irish Roots Cafe, along with special notes
on Irish coats of arms and different genealogy
topics. The first time to all appear on one DVD !

B) Irish Genealogy Books / Irish Families Project
We’ll bring our 34 book Irish county genealogy set.
It’s the largest collection in print, with a book
for every county in Ireland.  At least one copy of
of each county is available.  These are available
from no one else, and only found at the Dublin, OH
festival.
If you want one of my other Irish History or
Genealogy books, just email me and I’ll bring it
to the genealogy tent at the festival !

C) Record and Broadcast at the Festival.
Record your family search, and we’ll broadcast
it worldwide on our next podcasts.  A free service
only at the Dublin Irish Festival.  Just let me know
and I’ll turn on the recorder at the genealogy tent !

D) Free Irish DNA group
Find out about joining our free Irish DNA group with
FamilyTreeDNA.  We’ll also give you a free DNA swab
‘stick’ while supply lasts, just to show how easy it is.

All in all, this is a great chance to get your Irish
family history in order and your search in gear.
Stop by the genealogy tent at the Dublin, Ohio
Irish Festival and say hello.  This is the only festival
we have attended for the last 12 years, so you’ll find
it no where else. Great festival – It is be worth the trip.

We publish more Irish genealogy books than anyone in the world !

Book of the Month:
Kings and Queens (Leix, Laois) County, genealogy & family hist. notes.

Kings County-Offaly, Queens County Leix/Laois
Queens County is also known as ‘Leix’ and ‘Laois’ today. The
ruling family in ancient times were the O’Moores.  Queen Mary
came along in the 16th century and claimed the land as part
of the crown, renaming it ‘Queens County’, along with its main
town being renamed ‘Maryborough’.  This would not remain the case
as the county would be renamed ‘Laois’ and the town renamed
Portlaoise with the coming of Irish independence.

As listed in this book:
Most Numerous In Queens County , (Co. Leix or Laois):
Dunne…..Dunn…..Donne

works.

Part Two Includes
The complete existing returns from the census of 1659,
also showing the methods of spelling family names and place
names at that time in history. This census is organized by barony,
townland and parish. The baronies included are Phillipstowne;
Coolis Towne; Ballaboy; Ballycowen; Geshell; Clonlisk;
Garriecastell; Kilcourcy; Eglish; Ballybritt; Ossery;
Maryborrough; Cullenagh; Sliemargeagh; Ballyadams;
Portnyhinch; Stradbally; and Tynahinch. The full names of
tituladoes are given, such as Barnaby Dunn, William Lestrange;
Walter Warnford; Joseph Hamon; James Barnwall, Edmond
McShane, Thomas Piggott, and so on. These tituladoes are
tied to specific townlands. Furthermore, at the end of each
barony there is a list of ‘Principall Irish Names and Their Number’.
In one barony the names of Bane 5, Bryan and McBryan 5,
Carroll 6, Conner and McConner 7, Conraghy 17, Dun 18, Divoy 5,
McEdmond 5, Mallone 5, McRory 6, and so on, are listed for
each barony. Different surnames appear in different baronies,
thus providing a clue for researchers. It is important to note
that the spellings of place names and family names changed
over time. The researcher should be aware of minor changes
in the spelling of his name.

Irish Family Name of the Day:
Lawlor, Lalor

Todays family history in honor of member:
Les Warren of Waikato, New Zealand, welcome as a new
member ! Searching: Lalor/Lawlor from County Kerry, but
likely came from Co. Laois.

Related Spellings of the Name
Laler, O’Lalor, Lawler, Lawlar

Varient Spelling Groups:  #1057, 2476,
From The Guide to the Various Spellings of Irish Family Names
http://www.irishroots.com/id4918.htm

History of the Name
O’Lalor was one of the 7 septs, or families, of Leix, and the O’
prefix is generally not found with the name today.  The leading
members of the ‘septs’ were transplanted to Co. Kerry in 1609,
but most of the family remained near their traditional lands.
Records of the family can be found in the estate papers in the
National Library of Ireland in Dublin.
Note the name of Lalors mills, where  the 7 septs were were
officially defeated by the signing of a treaty.
The Lalor families can be found in the same ancient
genealogies as the O’Connors of Kerry and the O’Mores, as
given in Keatings History (IGF).
One principal seat of the family name was at Disert, near the
rock of Dunamase.  From here a branch of the family settled in
Tipperary. A branch of this line is found in the Irish Book of
Arms.
