Jim, Thanks for the tip on O'Hart and the info on Lodge. What about Burke's Peerage (online version)? Or The Complete Peerage (GEC)? Are they considered accurate? Which is the best source book for Scotland?

Grace, Finding information on any Irish family is difficult at best. You might look into finding a copy of Lodge's Peerage of Ireland, (1764, four volumes). It's not the easiest to find, but if you can't find a print copy it is available on Microfiche. As for O'Hart's, it's reputation is far less than reliable. The Irish Pedigrees you ordered should be used with caution, if at all, and only use information that can be verified by other (reputable) sources.
