Synopsis

This third edition of Tracing Your Irish Ancestors retains the three-part structure of earlier editions, but updates and improves the material already included while adding new sources which have emerged since publication of the second edition in 1998. The bibliographies - an important element of the book - are more comprehensive than ever before. With the growing use of Internet searches the number of sources has grown dramatically since the last edition. John Grenham has a specific chapter on the Internet, with detailed references to online transcripts in the source lists. This new edition has a 35% increase in content over the previous one. `A book which has already established itself as the standard reference book for genealogical researchers, professional or amateur, who are dealing with Irish sources' Ireland of the Welcomes `The most authoritative book on the subject' Cara `Books on how to trace your Irish ancestors pour from the presses. Here is a really worthwhile one, comprehensive, clearly laid out and interesting to read.' Books Ireland
