Searching For Irish Roots Is Not Easy.,
By
This review is from: A Guide to Irish Roots (Paperback)
The first part of A GUIDE TO IRISH ROOTS gives a short popular history of Ireland. It is followed by a listing and identification of Irish heroes and a brief bibliography of Irish tradition and history. A few suggestions ensue on how one may begin a genealogical search for one's own Irish ancestors.The rest of the book is basically a guide to traditional Irish family relationships presented in chart form complete with maps to help the reader identify the origins of family names. There are over 2,000 names categorized. A GUIDE TO IRISH ROOTS is an ambitious undertaking. It will be of some value to the newcomer to Irish genealogy but of much more benefit to the person who already knows the names of at least four grandparents or eight great grandparents. If nothing else the book alerts the reader to the many difficulties involved in searching for Irish forbears and also the importance of oral tradition among the Irish people. |
