A Must Have for ALL Donegal Researchers,
By Carol Queen (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to Tracing your Donegal Ancestors (Paperback)
Tracing Your Donegal Ancestors is the Basic Tool for doing Donegal, Ireland research. If you could only buy one book, this is the one you want. Mr. Duffy has provided numerous tips and resources, as well as some "not too well known" resources. A MUST HAVE!
