> > can anyone recommend any good books on the history of Ireland? Try checking out the Irish Book section of my website. At the bottom of the page, you will find links to parish history, local history and the general history of Ireland books. http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/books/ On this page, you will note, there is a mailing list dedicated to books about Ireland. It is not a very busy list but helpful, if you ask questions. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com http://www.connorsgenealogy.net
