This is the second in a new Irish Research Series written and edited by nationally-known genealogists. Like others in similar series, this is meant to be portable and/or kept by your computer as you work. Containing quite a bit of valuable information on its four pages, the guide begins with an explanation of Irish civil registrations and continues with Irish family names and variations, and strategies for locating Irish civil registrations. There is a separate section on Northern Ireland as well as one on Irish church records. Each section contains links to current websites.
