Spice up your research with a little "Seasoning"!

Having worked hard to construct this web site in the style of a genealogical kitchen, I was in danger of coming unstuck when faced with all those miscellaneous sources that are a bit more difficult to categorise. But never daunted, I've come up with a set of pages under "Seasonings"!  This is where you can find some of the more eclectic sources that are either very narrowly specialised or are perhaps a bit more random in their content. Nevertheless, if you do strike it lucky within these sources, you may, like me, find some priceless little explosions of flavour that bring a branch of your tree to life or solve a particularly pesky people puzzle!

I'll try not to clutter this section with too much esoteric stuff, just things that have worked for me for the time being. I've started off with some thoughts on following up on Methodists in Ireland, followed up with quite a few suggestions for tracking down Monumental Inscriptions in some more obscure places.  Finally, I've shared my favourite sources found so far for tracing medical men and clergy.

I hope these prove useful and feel free to nominate your favourite spicy sources too!

    I'm Ruth and here are my own observations, good, bad and indifferent on all things geographically & genealogically Irish, and occasionally, Scottish.
