"Pushing Up Shamrocks," by David O'LORCAIN of Burpengary, Queensland. This 1998 book is a good resource for individuals researching Irish to Queensland, Australia. It contains essays on the background of Irish immigration to Queensland. There are 6,000 biographical details on Irish-born persons who died and/or were buried in Queensland. Best of all, there are 2,700 entries supplied by 475 contributors from their own personal knowledge, plus their names and addresses so you can contact them. Information is also abstracted from Pioneer registers. Cemetery inscriptions are arranged by surname, Christian names, year of birth, Irish county of birth, year of death, place or death or burial, and occupation. Note -- One fellow wrote to tell me he was able to identify an ancestor in this reference book and subsequently exchanged letters with the family in Australia.
