A must for County Down!!,
This review is from: County Down, Ireland, Genealogy & Family History, special extracts from the IGF archives (Spiral-bound)
Are you trying to find your family in County Down?? A must... this books contains actual records from the IGF Library. There are sketches of coats of arms.. It isnt a GIGANTIC collection but a very unique and useful hands on guide to County Down research. For a more great in depth guide see the same authors book " Book of Irish Families, Great and Small"
