Hi all, As I endeavor to learn more about Irish research, terminology, repositories, etc. I have come across an excellent research aid. This book is _Irish and Scotch-Irish Ancestral Research_, Volumes I and II by Margaret Dickson Falley, Fourth Printing, 1998, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD, USA; ISBN:0-8063-0916-4. This book is proving tremendously helpful for understanding the various terms - parish, barony, townland, etc., their use, repositories, and much much more.
