3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for geographic place names
We were looking for a book that explained the origin of Irish place names, but this wasn't it. This is a fine book for genealogical researchers, as it associates surnames with places. If you're looking for the Irish Gaelic origins of place names, try to find a copy of "Dictionary of Irish Place Names" by Adrian Room. We were glad to score the last copy from a...

5.0 out of 5 stars I found Skeafe, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Master Book of Irish Placenames: Master Atlas and Book of Irish Placenames (Hardcover)
I found Skeafe in County Cork in the 17th Century! Plus this book is hardbound which really helps because I can really tear through the paperbacks. It is the first place I look.

This review is from: Master Book of Irish Placenames: Master Atlas and Book of Irish Placenames (Hardcover)
We were looking for a book that explained the origin of Irish place names, but this wasn't it. This is a fine book for genealogical researchers, as it associates surnames with places. If you're looking for the Irish Gaelic origins of place names, try to find a copy of "Dictionary of Irish Place Names" by Adrian Room. We were glad to score the last copy from a distributor.

I'm sure Mr. O'Laughlin is a great researcher in his field, but I'm disappointed that we were a bit misled by this book's title and didn't find what we were looking for. I'm sure we'll put the book to good use eventually, though!
