This book sets out the records available for research on the history of County Cork families, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect. For each type of record, it describes the background to their compilation, and the categories of people and data included. It also provides background on the social history of County Cork and how this history has affected the keeping and survival of records. Cork is the largest Irish county and was a major emigration county.

From the Back Cover: Cork is the largest Irish county, with a population mainly of Gaelic and Norman origin. It has had a widely diverse social history ranging from the urban population of Cork city to some of the most remote and isolated agricultural communities in rural Ireland. The records available for the county are equally diverse. This makes it important to use these records to their best advantage. This book sets out the records available for Cork, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect in tracing Cork families.
