Irish family names and history explained
Irish family history has always been a growth industry. From the earliest days the Irish could recite the descent of their families from ancient kings and chieftains. Reciting the litany of names from memory provided the poets and musicians with an endless flow of stories
as heroic characters were recalled. For those of Irish descent today, this information from the mother country is just as important.Many Irish families now encompass continents instead of merely counties. We have some valuable aids to your search for Irish roots. Access a comprehensive dictionary of Celtic first names, giving the derivation and history of each and, where appropriate, the translation. Earlier names which are no longer in use but which are of historical interest are also given. This book will appeal not only to parents but to anyone with a general interest in Ireland and its history.
Also available is a guide which lists and describes eighty well-known titles, explaining their history and associations, with heraldic shields. Eighty have been chosen, not merely for historical importance, but because of their often outstanding personalities. A section providing the meaning and place of origin of a further one hundred titles is included.
However far from the Ireland your branch of the family extends, be assured that you will always be a part of your own family history.
