I have found some interesting on-line books using Google Books and searching on the Irish county or town and surname. I am sure many of you already know how to do this, but for the newbies, I am going to post this: Go to Google, click on "more", click on "books" and enter whatever you seek in the search engine. You will find lots of books that are on line and you can read through them and find your info. Diane Shaw St. Louis, MO
