    3. Hi, everyone -- For those of you researching in Ireland, the following website may be of interest. The Fianna Study Group for Irish Genealogy has a homepage which is: Fianna Guide to Irish Genealogy at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/index.html. I have included below a list of specific URLs for various sections on this site. One section lists Huguenot names in Ireland. These are the same surnames posted on this list a few months ago -- taken from the books by O'Hart and Smiles. So, they can be accessed either in our list archives or on the Fianna website. The rest of the Fianna site is not about Huguenots but it does contain a lot of useful information about researching in Ireland. From personal experience, I know that Irish research is not easy going -- it's completely different from UK research, for example, and then there is the matter of all those records destroyed by fire......where to turn for alternative info? Anyway, maybe this site will be of help. There is also interesting stuff re: Irish history as well as useful tips/links for research in Scotland, Wales, England, Canada, the US, etc. My thanks to Patrick Traynor of California (not a subscriber to this list) who sent me info about the Fianna site as well as the surnames from the O'Hart and Smiles books.
