I have updated the Parish History Books webpages with over 50 more books, many with lookup volunteers. If you submitted a book please check your entry for accuracy. If you find mistakes, please email me off list. You will notice that I have redesigned the site and broken the original webpage into four webpages because of the size. They are still arranged in alphabetic order of counties. You can access the webpages at the url below my name. At my homepage, you will find a navigation bar at the top, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books and this will take you to a webpage for the Ireland Books Discussion Mailing List. At the bottom of that page, you will find links for the Parish History Books. (If your browser, does not use the navigation bars, there is a work around, just click on "click here") The Parish History Books are something I didn't know existed until my first trip to Ireland in 1999. I was pleasantly surprised to find them because not only did they include the history of the area, some listed the censuses, the Griffith's Valuation and/or the Tithes for the parish. When I started this site a couple of years ago, people started volunteering to do lookups in the books since many are out of print. Now, people are starting to submit books relating to the country in general and not to one particular parish or area. If you have a book that is not listed, some counties are pretty sparse in listings, use the convenient form at the bottom of the webpage. It is your choice, of course, on whether you care to volunteer to do lookups in the book. Also, if you have a book that is listed without a lookup volunteer and you would like to volunteer, please email me off list and I'll be sure to add you on my next revision. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
