My other bookshelf pages feature books that I either own in hardcopy or have downloaded electronically and have used in the course of my research.  However, there are always more genealogical books than there are hours in the day and I have a stash of them bookmarked as potentially useful for other solving as yet unencountered people puzzles.  So here are a couple of them that I have not got round to purchasing yet but you may find useful for your own research.  Do get in touch if you can recommend them further to me.

Clicking on any of the book covers will take you to the publishers websites where you can learn more and buy the book, but of course they can be sourced elsewhere, including second-hand, I should imagine.

Researching Scots-Irish Ancestors (2020)  William J Roulston

The sub-title of this book, published by the Ulster Historical Foundation, is "The essential genealogical guide to early modern Ulster, 1600-1800", ​ which pretty much sums up the reviews I've seen for this book.  This part of Ireland saw the "plantation" of Presbyterian Scots in the 17th century, a process that saw much conflict and of course, gave rise to plenty of paperwork!  Even if your Ulster ancestors didn't have Scottish roots, you are still going to find this book enormously useful.

Click on the book cover image to the left and you will be taken to the bookshop page of the Ulster Historical Foundation.  Scroll down the page and you will see the huge breadth of material covered in the various chapters.

The Archives of the Valuation of Ireland, 1830-1865 (2018)  Francis McGee

Francis McGee was an archivist at the National Archives of Ireland and no doubt spent a good deal of that time working with the extensive collection of papers deposited there for what is known colloquially as Griffith's Valuation.  The result of all that effort is this comprehensive and quite possibly definitive book on the subject.  William J Roulston (see above) has written a fulsome review which details what you can expect to find in the various chapters.

Francis also gave a talk to the Genealogical Society of Ireland when the book came out.  Not the greatest quality filming but several interesting examples used to illustrate some of the very rich detail in some of the perhaps more unfamiliar records in this collection.
