Samuel Lewis

            General Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of
            Ireland

            Reprints of works published in 1837 and 1861, respectively.  They provide perhaps the
            best available surveys of both pre- and post- Famine Ireland.

            The Famine Immigrants

            Gives data on over a half a million people who left Ireland for America from 1846 to
            1851:  name, age, sex, family relationship (where noted), occupation, and when the
            person sailed, on what ship, and from which port.  (seven book set)


Margaret Dickson Falley

            Irish and Scotch-Irish Ancestral Research

            Considered the best single tool for Irish genealogical research.  (two volumes)

            Volume I  ‘describes genealogical collections and indexes in all major Irish repositories,
            as well as published indexes, catalogues and source materials in Ireland and the United
            States.

            Volume II  contains bibliographies of family histories, pedigrees and source data.

Brian Mitchell

            A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland

            Particularly useful in conjunction with the topographical dictionary and the general
            alphabetical index.
