    1. "Researching Scots-Irish Ancestors"
    2. I have just received a copy of a new book that fully lives up to the promise of its title -- "Researching Scots-Irish Ancestors: The Essential Genealogical Guide to Early Modern Ulster, 1600-1800" by William J. Roulston. Dr. Roulston has crammed an amazing amount of information into a book of 260 pages. This is no broad overview of available sources in archives and libraries, but a detailed description of everything that might be relevant to the researcher. I'll try to send out a proper review in a few days. Perhaps some listers already have a copy and might want to share their impressions, too. The Ulster Historical Foundation published the book, with assistance from the Ulster Scots Agency to keep the price low. It is listed at 11.99 pounds Sterling, which even with the unfavorable exchange rate should be well under $25. You can contact the Ulster Historical Foundation for more information or to order your copy at enquiry@uhf.org.uk All the best, Richard MacMaster
