The Worlds First Irish Families History and Genealogy Podcast
The Irish Families podcast began in 2006, and was the very first
such weekly podcast ever produced. Since then we have added
4 more broadcasts, including those enhanced with photos and
live web links and full video podcasts and broadcasts.
I began with 6 sessions from way back, around 1984 that I recorded
around the time of St. Patricks Day celebrations. The recordings
had been sitting for several decades, and little did I know they
would be of use in launching the Irish Families show. These
six shows covered genealogical research of the day. The explosion
of research on the web today has made things much easier.
The basics of Irish research remain the same however.
We have since included interviews with DNA experts, Irish from
around the globe, authors, dancers and friends. It’s all to help
us connect with our Ancestors and our heritage. And of late
we have added an enhanced version with photographs and links....

Worlds First Irish Genealogy Podcast
Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year.
Today's Video Topic:
History of the Irish in America Broadcast
Here is where we have a chance to cover local history
in America (or anywhere in the world really).
I started this podcast with the story of the Irish in
Missouri, primarily due to the information I had
uncovered when writing the book ‘Missouri Irish’ in
1984. It was first published as ‘Irish Settlers on the
American Frontier.’ We have interviews with quite
a few folks, telling the story of the Irish in the region.
We cover Irish politics and the Pendergast regime, the
early settlements of the Irish here, including the
Irish Wilderness under Fr. Hogan and in Kansas City
under Father Bernard Donnelly.
We also cover the Irish in Savannah, Georgia.
This was due to the interest and activity of Walt Harper,
who has a good knowledge of the subject, for starters.
I enjoyed taking the Irish Roots Cafe mobile unit down
to Savannah and speaking there earlier this year.
The Irish are represented very well in Savannah,
and that would include Kevin Barrys on the waterfront.
Hibernians, Dancers, and Singers are out in strength
in this historic town.
Our next season should begin in 2009, assuming I
can get some help from an interested local historian
in your area !

A Rare Irish History
Originally written in the Irish language, this book is also
a year by year timeline of Irish history. The events are organized
by year, sometimes noting the ‘great wind’ that caused much
destruction, or the slaugher of O’Reilly by O’Rourke one year, and
O’Rourke slaughtering O’Reilly the next.....
How it came about
The patron of the ‘Four Masters’ or ‘Four Friars’ declared that all the
known history of Ireland be compiled in one work, so they went forward
from Donegal to collect all the fragments of the old books that existed.
This was in the early 17th century, and perhaps the last opportunity to
do so before the final collapse of the Irish culture. Some of that history now survives only in in these annals. This is well recorded in the introduction to this work.
See my blog at www.Irishroots.com for full show notes.

The Book of Irish Families, What is it ?
Filmed live at the Irish Roots Festival workshops this year.
Time: 2:35
The author and editor to this work explains the 3 different
sections to this book, and why it was compiled. This is
the master volume to the Irish Families series, the largest
set ever put to print on Irish Families, and genealogy.
Hosted by foundation president, Michael C. O'Laughlin.
1. The Family History Section
2. The family location index ( particularly for rare names)
3. The Master Index to the Irish Families Project.
This work contains information on specific families from
every county in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Most of the info
in this volume is not found in the later volumes to the series.
Hence, it is made to work with the individual county volumes
to the series.

The Irish Families Project, 34 Book Set Complete
What is it ?
A 34 book set on Irish Family history and genealogy, the
largest collection ever in print. Research for this project began in
1978 by author/editor Michael O'Laughlin. The final volume was
published in 2009, with an final index appearing in 2009 -2010.
The complete set contains over 3,000 pages and 1,000 illustrations.
It is available as a set or as individual books from www.Irishroots.com
Our aim was to help people find and research their Irish family history.
Experienced researchers know that to include the family history of every
family in every county would take a book as big as a railroad car. This obviously is impossible in printed form.
We have, however, managed to amass the first collection of its kind in print. There are more names, illustrated arms and locations in this source than in any before it. I hope it will start many on their way to more complete Irish family history.

All Lands Lost
Quoting the text we find that:
"With only two, or perhaps three exceptions, every native landlord, and
every native tenant within the bounds of the six counties was dispossessed
and displaced; and although a few of both classes were afterwards
permitted to share slightly in the great land-spoil, it was only in some other
and less attractive localities than their own".
Indeed many would eventually come to the shores of North America and
other foreign lands as a result of this loss.
Of the main families the records show that the Maguires (or McGuires) who
occupied Fermanagh; The O'Hanlons who occupied ONealan and Orior; The
Macanas or the McCanns of Clann Breasail (Clanbrazill); and the
MacMahons of Monaghan; the ORiellys, the O'Cahans and others, had a long
and distinguished history. How had several families in the area 'disappeared'
by the 19th century ?
Summary
I thought this an important work for anyone interested in Irish Genealogy or History.
As a result we published this work as a hardbound 4 volume set. It is much
more than just the listing of names, it is a specific look at the history of the day, which
continues to affect the Irish into modern times. For a more detailed look, complete
with a photograph of the completed set, visit my web page at:
