Irish Genealogy - A Reference AidIrish Genealogy - A Reference Aid. Brian Mitchell. Softcover, 1999, New, 8.5 X 11, Index, 70 pp.
Brian Mitchell compiled this book to be used as a reference book for those who are researching Irish record sources. He has divided the contents into five essentials of Irish genealogy: The Family History Process, Surnames, Place and Administrative Divisions, Constructing a Family Tree, and Major Record Sources. It is not intended that the book be read from cover to cover, but rather to be used a reference to be consulted as and when required. Getting started overseas, Irish Passenger Lists, the importance of surnames, surname variants, place (an Irishman�s attachment to the land), Administrative Divisions, the Townland index, maps, topographics, record sources, birth, marriage and death records, census returns and substitutes, birth-marriage-and death certificates, Church Baptismal-Marriage-and Burial Registers, Gravestone, Inscriptions, Wills, Griffith�s Valuation Maps, Tithe Appointment Books, the householder�s Index, census, other sources, estate records-leases, addresses of major record offices, and county libraries all make up the contents of this book.
