This is the first 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. The guide begins with a section called "Reaching Your Goal: Irish Research Preparation." It continues with a section called "Strategic Steps to Answering Research Questions," and follows with a sample research plan that goes into great detail. The last page has a section on early immigrants and one on what to do next. Each section has links to websites.
