An excellent source for Family Lore
MacLysaght was the the Cheif Herald of Ireland during the 40's and so has an intimant knownledge of what he writes.

Not For Me - but pretty,

Very Pretty but a limited number of arms and my family was not even in the book. For such an expensive work, I expected my family to be there!
