This book is entitled “Gaelic Titles and Forms of Address”. There is nothing else quite like it in the IGF library. This is the second and last edition, updated, and expanded with several contemporary topics.
Clan Organizations
Among the new topics covered in this groundbreaking work are clan organizations and chieftains as they exist in todays world. A topic which few dare touch on today.
A Note From the Author
Not to be confused with British titles and forms of address - this book is in the gaelic style and tradition. After all the discussion and fine tuning created after we published the first edition, the light of day comes to another aspect of gaelic culture.
In the authors own words, "The need for a work such as this, regarding Gaelic nobility, really transcends the general problems of English system forms of address... This work was undertaken for two reasons:
First, there was nothing at all in print in English concerning proper Gaelic usages and
Secondly, where references to Gaelic usages were offered, they were all within English Peerage publications, written from the English nobility viewpoint, and thus totally wrong in every case, ancient and modern."
This is the last word on the subject to date.

About the Author
'Chevalier William F.K. Marmion stems from a prominent
old Irish family. The large statue in Dundalk town square
is dedicated to his 3x great-grandfather, who was executed
for his leadership in the Rising of 1798. Another relative, Dom
Columba Marmion, OSB, was recently beatified by the Pope.
A businessman/CEO in the U.S. for over 30 years, he took early
retirement in 1992 and returned to Ireland where he focused
on his writing and historical interests, serving for
a period on the board of directors of Clans of Ireland, Ltd
in Dublin.
He has published seven books, and over sixty
historical articles in various Irish journals - on history and
genealogy, with a particular interest in the history of orders
of knighthood in Ireland where his researches have received
wide acclaim. He continues his researches,
and is active with the Marmion Clan (hereditary Chief-of-Name)
and as a Knight Commander in the Order of St.Lazarus-of-Jerusalem.
