Simple and easy to use, the Irish Citizenship Handbook walked me through all the steps to my dual citizenship as an Irish-American. Got my Irish passport finally due to this handbook. Found the place, address and phone number for my grandmother's birth certificate in County Wexford. Then the location (address and phone) of her marriage certificate in Chicago. My mother's birth certificate in Buffalo, N.Y., and my parent's marriage certificate in Boston. The book has the addresses of all relevant public documents in both Ireland and America, plus information on Canada and Australia. This book saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration in obtaining dual citizenship from the Irish Consulate in Boston. My phone calls alone would have been far beyond the cost of this book...Thanks for making me an Irish citizen.

I followed the process that was described in this book and although I was scheptical at first, it all went as it said and I was successful. I received my Birth cert. (record of foriegne birth) and turned it around quickly through the Irish Consulate in Chicago for a passport. The cost was $175 for the birth cert. and another $75 for the passport. I was lucky to be able to find most documents within my family (grandfather born in 1901 in Belfast) and others that I didn't get from family, I located at court houses etc. and most by mail. I highly recommend this book to those with an Irish parent or grandparent, I see it as a birthright and have real use for this dual citzenship in my personal and business life as well. Charge ahead you won't regret it and you will learn alot about Ireland in the process. I visited Ireland in Apr. 05 and will go again to see my fathers cousins in the north in 2006. I was really happy to complete this process. (UPDATE), 2010- I have had two children since I wrote this review and follwed the process for myself. There are 9 other people in my family (my father & 3 brothers and my Uncle & 4 children). None of them have followed the process. My boy & girl have also claimed their Irish citizenship with birth Cert. & passport now from me. They are also US & Hungarian citizens too. Fact is, it works just like the man who wrote this book says. Great, I use my passport everywhere in the world except the USA and never a problem !!
