Bookshelves

Here are my recommendations for indispensable reading when it comes to Irish family history research - lots of useful information not only on the geography, but also on history, records, methods etc.  Yes, there are undoubtedly some glaring omissions from these lists, but with so many different books now available, these represent the ones I have invested in or found to be useful online.  Feel free to suggest further reading for me!

Pick a shelf and browse the titles;

• Guides and Finding Aids - how to find and interpret many different kinds of records
• Histories - the political and economic context to you ancestors lives
• Digital e-books - out-of-copyright antiquities and other gems
