SC   - CRAZY CRATE YOGS 29:  BOOK 2:  A COMPILATION OF THE ORIGINAL LISTS OF PROTESTANT IMMIGRANTS TO SOUTH CAROLINA 1763-1773.  Compiled by Janie Revill.  Originally published 1939, reprinted in 1981, GPC, 163 pages, 5.5 by 8.5 inches.  Ex lib, Used, $18.  The immigrants listed in this volume were Protestant refugees from Europe who came to SC in response to an Act offered by SC for their special benefit.  Applicants had to have certificates showing that they were Protestants and entitled to receive these benefits.  Many of them contributed greatly to the religious, social and political development of the colony, and many of them became soldiers and patriots of the Revolutionary War.  This book reproduces the original records as they were entered in the Council Journals.  Spelling is as it appears originally. Sometimes, same names were spelled differently in the same document.  Actual townships were created, named and settled by these immigrants when they literally had just gotten off the boat together with others from  the group they had traveled with to get here.  They received a bounty for coming here which included money in their hand.  The Bounty was paid based on their age.  The records show how many acres they received and where they were located.  Some paid for their warrants, some were not able to do so.  The nicest thing about this book is they tell you what country they come from and they sometimes tell you exactly where they went to settle. $18

Surnames with five or more than five first names are listed here with their numbers of first names:  Adair 7, Adams 7, Airs 6, Alexander 5, Anderson 8, Andrew/s 11, Archer 5, Archier 6, Arnot 5, Bailey 11, Ballentine 7, Barber 5, Barr 8, Beard 9, Beat(t)y 9, Beckman 12, Beehler 6, Bell 17, Bennison 5, Berry 5, Biggam 7, Black 9, Blair 7, Blake 5, Blakely 7, Bonnar 5, Boyd 15, Bradford 5, Brawford 6, Brenter 5, Brown 23, Browne 8, Brown(lee/lie) 14, Buchannon 7, Burnside 6, Caldwell 13, Cameron 5, Campbel/l 18, Carril 5, Carson 13, Carswell 6, Clark /e 9, Coapling 5, Cochran 8, Cooey 6, Cook/e 5, Corrie 6, Craig 11, Crawford 7, Crosier 6, Crossan 5, Cunningham 11, Dickey 7, Dickson 11, Dodds 9, Dougharty 5, Douglas/s 10, Dunlap 8, Dunn 5, Ellis 19, Elsminger 6, Erlbeck 5, Erving 5, Fee 8, Fellows 5, Fillips 5, Fleming 11, Forster7, Fortune 9, Foster 6, Frick 7, Gamble 6, Gelespy/Gelaspie 5, Gibson 8, Gilbert 7, Glass 6, Gordon 9, Gracey/Gracy 7, Graham 5, Gray 9, Greer 7, Greg/g 10, Griffen 6, Hall 12, Hamilton 11, Hannah 11, Harb(e/i)son10, Harper 11, Hartness 5, Hathorn 8, Henery 5, Henning 8, Heydel/l6, Hill 6, Hodge 5, Holmes 7, Humphreys 5, Hutchins 7, Irrig/g 5, Jameison 5, Johnston 16, Jones 16, Jordan 8, Keiss 13, Keller 12, Kelso 8, Kennedy 10, Khunn 6, Killy 5, Kimmerling 6, King 7, Kinnard 5, Knab/b 5, Knight 5, Knox 13, Kubler 5, Lang 7, Law 6, Le(s/s)lie 9, Lethem 6, Levinston 6, Lindsay 9, Lindsey 6, Magelton 5, Major 7, Man 5, Mark/s 6, Marshall 6, Martin 13, Ma(t/t)hews 6, Maxwell 5, Maybean 5, Merk 9, Miller 11, Montgomery 14, Moor 12, Moore 23, Moorhead 5, Mor(f/f)at/t 7, Morrison 7, Murdagh 6, Murdock 12, Murry 7, McALeas 6, McCa(d/d)am 9, McCan/n 8, McCleland 13, McClure 7, McConnel/l 11, McCrachan 18, M’Cree 5, McCulloch 8, McCullou(ch/gh) 8, McDougal/l 11, McDowal 6, McDowell 12, McFadding 5, McGill 6, McKel(vey/vie/vy) 9, McKewn 11, McLean 6, McLurkam 6, McMaster 7, McMorris 5, McMullen/s 5, Neily 5, Nelly 6, Nesbit/t 8, Nichol/s 5, O’Neal 6, Owen/s 10, Paterson 7, Patterson 12, Pattison 6, Paul/l 10, Peopler 5, Porter 7, Potts 5, Press(ly/ley) 5, Proctor 15, Raphel 6, Rea 10, Read 9, Reed 9, Reid 11, Reyler 5, Reynolds 6, Robinson 15, Rodgers 6, Rogers 8, Ross 6, Rouson 5, Rowan 13, Russel/l 16, Schieldknight (3 spellings) 9, Schrumpert 6, Scott 15, Seawright 7, Setzler 9, Shoemaker 5, Simpson 8, Simpton 5, Skillen 5, Sloan/Slone 5, Smiley 9, Smith 26, Snead 8, Spence 17, Steil 7, Stewart 5, Strum 8, Summers 6, Summerville 5, Taylor 10, Templeton 6, Thirry 5, Thomson 15, Turk 5, Turner 8, Vernor 5, Waight 5, Walker 19, Wallace 11, Walt(s/z) 5, Waters 6, Watson 9, Watt/s15, Webb 6, Webber 13, Weir 7, Whitaker 5, White 15, Willson 18, Wilson 17, Wiseman 6, Wylie 17, Youart 6, Young 23, Zang 5, Zimmeral 6, Zimmerle 6 and Zimmerman 10.

NC – CRAZY CRATE YOGS 29:  BOOK 11:  INDEX AND DIGEST TO HATHAWAY’S NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER.  With genealogical notes and annotations.  Compiled and Edited by Worth S. Ray.  Originally published as The Lost Tribes of North Carolina, 1945, Reprinted 1971.  192 pages, hardbound.  $15.  In the early 1900s James Robert Bent Hathaway published the eleven volumes of The North Carolina Historical Register, largely from original records.  In those days before computer technology was as good as it is today, periodicals [this was a quarterly.] were seldom indexed. There were 11 issues 4 the first year with 640 pages of tightly packed abstracts, the second year with 640 pages of dada and the third year with three issues of 480 pages created a body of work encompassing 1,760 pages of data and coverage of about 50,000 people.  Before computers indexes just could not handle a problem this big.  But, what an important work needed some kind of key to access it.  Mr. Ray, the author of Tennessee Cousins, a well known work, chose to tackle this problem.  Much of the Register such as the marriage records and lists of Revolutionary Soldiers was already in alphabetical order, so that material was not redone here.  Digest is the perfect word for this work.  He took pages of data about a family and compressed it to a workable amount and printed it here.  The Register is in most large libraries and further information can be located there.   

When Mr. Worth finished, he noticed that although the Digest is smaller than the original, it is still too big!  So then he created an index to the Digest.  The Genealogical Notes refers to the families which are covered in detail.  Families covered by extended materials are: Akehurst, Adams, Baker, Blount, Bryan, Burton, Council, Cary, Carter, Charlton, Chamberlain, Chew, Christmas, Cobb, Cole, Cooper, Cotton, Crockett, Culpeper, Daniel, Darden, Dudley, Durant, Earl, Eaton, Edwards, Fosque, Glaister, Goddin, Glover, Grimes, Harrison, Hardy, Hunt, Hill, Isham, Jones, Jordan, Kirby, Kittrell, Lunsford, Lane, Lanier, Lindsay, Marks, Moore, Mulkey, Nash, Parker, Read, Randolph, Richardson, Bowden-Wroten, Townsend, Vines, Wallace, Washington, Woodhouse, Woodward.  Ex-lib, library markings.  $15   

GA – CRAZY CRATE YOGS 29:  BOOK 12:  INDEX TO THE 1830 CENSUS OF GEORGIA:  Transcribed and Compiled by Mrs. Alvaretta Kenan Register.  C. G.[Certified Genealogist.]  GPC 1974, 520 pages, hardbound, $32.  Records of the first three censuses (1790, 1800, 1810.) for Georgia are apparently lost, so this is the first complete census for Georgia still in existence.  The only names listed on this census are the heads of families, one per household as a general rule.  Numbers of age groups are shown, divided by sex.  We have free white males and females in five year age groups to age 20, 10 year age groups from 20 to 100, and 100 years or older.  The number of slaves and free colored persons is indicated in six broad age groups.  Abbreviations used for the counties are spelled out for you, so you can get right to your search.  Again, too many names to list.  You may be able to find your fellow’s spelling of his name on the census by looking through this list when you can not find it on the internet!  $32

YOGS Crate 28

Originally sent out 10 July 2007

Here we are, finally, with a crate of German-related subject matter.  This one seemed to take a long time to get to.  In the past few weeks we have done mostly foreign-oriented materials and we thank you for your patience if your research for your ancestors is still all stateside.  If you research well, you will, sooner or later, reach the point where you have identified your foreign ancestor and hopefully, exactly where he came from to get here.  Starting next week we will be having Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky books featured for a while if my help to move some boxes of books comes through!

 

Watch for some additional foreign books as we clean off our shelves to make additional space for the research shelves of Kentucky to come back out to the shop and take their rightful place on the shelves.  There will be sure to be some duplicates of our materials when they do and you, our readers, will be the first to know about them before they are put on sale to the general public.

But first, to the business at hand! 

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 28:  BOOK 3:  THE WUERTTENBERG EMIGRATION INDEX.  VOLUME TWO.  By Trudy Schenk and Ruth Foelke.  ©1986 and published by Ancestry, 239 pages, hardbound, These books are NEW.  $20.   These emigration register documents are a unique collection of papers and documents on applicants who filed for permission to emigrate (leave) Wuerttenberg during the nineteenth century (1800s +/-).  The records are not alphabetical, nor are the pages numbered, which makes a search of the microfilm of them complicated and time consuming.  In some cases as many as eight pages would be written on one man.  They may include a birth certificate, in German, Gothic or Latin, a family record, military release and renunciation of citizenship rights. 

Also, emigrants leaving without the government’s knowledge or approval are, of course, NOT listed at the time of emigration.  They may, later in life, after having arrived where they decide to settle, send word back that they had left, maybe years ago, but they are now wishing to renounce their citizenship rights.  This is documented in the records when their papers are received.  A careful reading of the preface is necessary to understand the generalities that were agreed upon to be used by all recorders,  interpreters and researchers.

The Wuerttemberg Archive officials made the microfilming of the Ludwigsburg Wuerttemberg emigration possible.  Then the staff of the European Reference section of the Genealogical Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints encouraged the authors to get the job done.  Little did the authors know this project would actually fill seven volumes.  The church also allowed the ladies to use their libraries’ computer equipment at no cost to the authors. 

The publication of this index rates as a milestone in German emigrant genealogy.  Germany was the country from which they came and they emigrated (or left) Germany to go where?  The answer is everywhere!  Not only the United States, but also, Australia, South America, and even Russia.  There are 36 abbreviations for where they could be going.  These records span a variety of dates since the late seventeenth century to including the period after World War II.  Some say there were as many as 800,000 German Immigrants that came out of Germany during this period!

Again the plea is made to recognize that any list with names on it would almost surely have some misinterpretation of spelling of certain surnames.  What a man says is often much different from what another man hears, and in this case, the second man is the one who writes down. 

The entry includes:  Name-last and then first name, their date and place of birth,  the emigration data indicates the region from which they had left, the date they applied, their destination-North America, Saxony, Prussia, America, France, Hungary, Baden and that is only on page one!  Next is listed the film number on which their information was found.  There are hundreds of reels!  Sample:  Ackermann, Christian; d.of.b 13 April 1836; pl.of.b. Maubach; O’amt-(region) Backnang; Application date-Feb. 1853; Destination-N. America;  Film #548408.  This is all on one line.  By the way. if you don’t have a Christian (3 of them) in your Ackermann line, there are 35 other first names you can find!   There are fifty lines on each of 239 pages = 11,950 names in this book from Abberger, Aquilina to Zimmerer, Maria.  There are some of almost any surname and up to a page or more of some of the more popular surnames.  There are simply too many to list here.  $20

OBERAMT RECORDS INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUME COME FROM:

Even before a Munro is on record in Foulis Castle, there was a castle in Dingwall.  The writer suggests that the Munro country was normally capable of supporting the clan in the austere fashion of olden days, and of keeping them “gainfully employed” in the process. 

The clan boasts of at least one illustrious American, in that two-time President of the USA, James Monroe, was thought to be descended from this clan.  There is a road trip through the country of the Munros, pointing out both physical and man-made highlights of the countryside.  For a short, but thorough history of the clan’s background, this booklet is superb.  People, physical features and accomplishments of the clan are herein noted. 

The history given is informative and it is easy to discern that these were a people to be reckoned with.  The Munro family produced some great military leaders and their careers are detailed here.  The music of the clan is listed with its history.

HI!  We are ready to do some Irish books today.  Thanks for taking your time to look at our Crazy Crates.  You never can tell when a surname will jump out at you and you will have found a book with some real help for you on your families.

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 1:  THE STORY OF THE IRISH RACE. A POPULAR HISTORY OF IRELAND.  Revised Edition.   By Seumas MacManus.  Devin-Adair Pub., © 1921.  Reprinted 1966, 737 pages, 6 by 9 inches, hard bound, good condition, dust jacket has transparent plastic covering.  $15.  This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand the Irish people—their political struggle, their magnificent literature, and their whole great contribution to Western Civilization, a contribution amazing in its richness and variety.  Here we have the whole saga of the Irish from the earliest times down to our own.  It is a work of sound scholarship and as easy to read as a superb novel, for it is beautifully written.  He gives us the facts and the dates and the names, bu also a real sense of the mind and temperament of the people, their ways of life, ideals, and an understanding account of their culture.  We Americans know that St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland, and that Dean Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” on the sufferings of the Irish people in the age of Queen Anne, is one of the masterpieces of satire on governmental stupidity, [which is on-going and common to every generation.] The Irish are a great race of fighters and poets and singers and saints, that Tristan’s Isolde came from Ireland, that somewhere along the line there were Irish heroes named Fin McCool, Cuchullan, and others.  You know, too, that from time immemorial the Irish and English have been at loggerheads and still are.  But the average American knows little more about Ireland and the Irish men and women of the past and the present.  It is a history too important to ignore, a chronicle too fascinating to miss especially if there is a thread of that fine Irish blood running through your own lineage.  Why did you think one of the colors of our popular mini-binders is called Kelly Green?  It’s especially made for those of us with a strong Irish line!

This history is thorough.  It boasts of no less than 82 chapters in its over 700 pages.  And it reads, simply and finally, well.  You will enjoy this book for it is much like listening to a master storyteller.  If you are interested in the details of Ireland’s development, this is the book for you.  $15.   

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 2:  THE DICTIONARY OF IRISH FAMILY NAMES.  By  Ida Grehan.  ©1997.  332 pages, 5.5 by 8.8 inches, Robert Rinehart Publishers, soft bound with coated cardstock pictorial cover in rich jewel tones.  NEW.  $17. Alphabetical by family name.  A selection of the famous and the infamous in descriptive paragraphs by surname leads you to have something to talk about when your genie-buddies meet.  You can carry the book with you and look up their names, too.  There are more than 500 Irish surnames listed in this book, along with details of variant spellings, a history of the beginnings of the name and a representative sprinkling of the bearers of that name and their colorful history.  Samples of the sketches include these:  1.)  “Perhaps the most remarkable O’Grady descendant is Cassius O’Grady Clay (Mohammed Ali).  His Clare ancestor a century ago married a black American lady who was so proud of her O’Grady name she passed it on to her children.  2.)  A detailed pedigree of the County Cork family of Cummins can be found in the 1976 edition of Burke’s Irish Family Records [Now if you were a Cummins, Commons, Comyns or Hurley (That last variant was a real surprise, wasn’t it?) what would you be willing to pay for that tip?  3.) The Flynns have an interesting history.  Jeremiah O’Flynn, a Franciscan Friar, was a pioneer and a fiery missionary in both Australia and the USA.  John Flynn (1880-1951), a Presbyterian minister, founded Australia’s Flying Doctor Service and was known as “Flinn of the Inland.”  Edmund Flynn (b 1847) was Premier of Quebec in Canada, William James (1867-1928) was head of the US Secret Service and, later, the F.B.I. and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890-1964) was leader of the Communist Party in the US and died in Moscow.  Of course, we shall never forget Errol Flynn (1909-1964) who came from Tasmania, was a swashbuckling star of many romantic Hollywood films in the 1930s and 40s, until he destroyed his health through over indulgence. See the many interesting things you can learn from this book.  There are hundreds of famous and infamous Irishmen and women in this book.  Check to see if some of them are yours!  $17

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 3A-New:   EMIGRANTS FROM IRELAND 1847-1852.  STATE-AIDED EMIGRATION SCHEMES FROM CROWN ESTATES IN IRELAND ca 1850.  By Eilish Ellis, M.A., GPC, 1978.  68 pages, 5.5 by 8.5 inches, cardstock covers, wrappers.   3A is new at $9 .   The estates from which state-aided emigration took place were part of the crown property in Ireland the management of which was one of the functions of the Quit Rent Office.  They had been let on various long-term leases which expired or were terminated in the early 1830s when it was discovered that a considerable population dependent on uneconomic holdings had accumulated on the estates.  A survey of the estate of Ballykileline made in 1836 revealed that there were 463 subdivisions and a population of just over 500 on a farm of approximately 692 acres.  The impossibility of instituting improvements under these conditions of over-population is apparent and with the possible exception of the model farm experiment at Kingswilliamstown, little was done under The Commissioners of Woods in the years before the famine to solve the problems arising from the dependence of an ever-increasing population on an over-worked and worn-out soil. 

That emigration would provide an outlet was recognized as early as 1836, when a census of the population of Irvilloughter was made with this end in view.  The tenants refused the offer to help them emigrate and 12 years were to elapse before they themselves petitioned the Commissioners to be sent to America.

Between the years of 1847 and 1852 just over 1,100 people left the five estates in Ireland of Ballykileline, County Roscommon; Irvilloughter and Boughill in County Galway; Kilconcouse, Offaly; Kingwilliamstown in County Cork and Castlemaine in County Kerry.     

This list was compiled from several sources.  The details listed in this book include, where available from the sources the following information:  1.) Name, 2.) Age, 3.) Additional information such as family relationships, information as to where settled in America. 4.) Date of departure from port, 5.) date of arrival in America, 6.) Name of ship.  Here are the surnames included in the first list with the number of passengers who are listed by their first names in the book:  Emigrants from Ballykileline were:  [NOTE:  Variant spellings are not included, just the first surname has been listed.[Brennan 7, Carlon 5, Carrington 1, Caveney 9, Cline 1, Colgan 18, Conner 9, Costello 11, Croghan 3, Deffely 6, Donlon 9, Fallon 12, Farrell 6, Finn 5, Fox 6, Gallagher 2, Geenty 4, Gill 4, Hanly 20, Hoare 7, Kelly 17, McCormick 26, McDermott 25, McDonnell 5, McGann 13, McManus 6, Madden 1, Magan 5, Maguire 4, Moran 5, Mullera 23, Narry 12, O’Neal 5, Padian 6, Quinn 6, Reynolds 17, Stewart 7, Stuart 15, Winters 5 and Wynne 5,

The names are so different, I decided to do more.  These will serve as an index to the book.  Emigrants from Irvilloughter and Boughill were:  Brien/Byrne14, Carney 1, Carroll 8, Carty/ McCarthy 11, Casey 2, Coffey 1, Conway 13, Cosgrave 37, Craughwell 24, Curley 2, Daw/e 9, Dempsey 21, Dolan 3, Donnellan 6, [Dooley, Tom] 1, Dowd 1, Egan 5, Flannery 10, Foster 1, Glynn 10, Golden 4, Gotmally/Gormley 6, Graady 16, Guinnessy 13, Ha(n/m)burry 2, Hart 9, Horan 6, Jennings 1, Kelly 14, Kennedy 29, Kilcannon 1, Killalea 20, Loftus 8, Looby 1, Lynskey 10, McLoughlin 4, Monaghan, 1, Manly 8, Mannion 7, Morrissey 12, Mullen 2, Naughton 1, Rafferty 16, Spencer 1 and White 31.

Family relationships are listed often including nieces and nephews, fathers and mothers, grandparents and even references to in-laws.  Explanations will be very pertinent to your research!  3A is New at $9.

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 4:  THE IRISH AMERICANS.  THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE.  By J. F. Watts.  Sandra Stotsky, General Editor.  Introduction by Daniel Patrick Moynahan.  Chelsea House Publishers. 1996.  111 pages, 7 by 9 5/8 inches, sewn binding with full color covers, wrappers, $10.  Designed for the use of parents with junior-high to senior high young adults, this book seeks to explain the immigrant experience and relate it in a format with lots of pictures and interesting facts to grab the attention of younger people in the story of their ethnic backgrounds and bring them into touch with how their immigrant ancestors became Americans.  $10

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 5:  SPECIAL REPORT ON SURNAMES IN IRELAND TOGETHER WITH VARIETIES AND SYNONYMES OF SURNAMES AND CHRISTIAN NAMES IN IRELAND.  By Sir Robert E. Matheson, LL.D.  Two volumes in one. , GPC, Dublin 1909, reprint 1968.  94 pages, hard bound, ex-lib., $10.

This book represents an official investigation into the personal names of Ireland.  Much light can be thrown into the early employments, because people often bore the name of the work they did or the customs their land embraced, as well as the name of the family or place from which they came.  Names include those brought to Ireland by the Milesian Prince of the Scandinavian Vikings and the Norman Knights.  In 1890 the author prepared for distribution what has become the first part of this work out of the four being the principal Surnames in Ireland compared with those in other portions of the United Kingdom.  Second the derivation of Surnames in Ireland, Thirdly Surnames in Ireland Ethnologically considered and fourthly, the Local Distribution of Surnames in Ireland.  All are together in this book.  The population of 1890 in Ireland estimated to be 4,717,959 persons.  Then the 100 most populous names were chosen,  Here are the first:  1.) Murphy, est. 62,600. 2.) Kelly, 3.) Sullivan, 4.) Walsh, 5.) Smith, est. 33.700.  6)^. O’Brien, 7.) Byrne, 8.) Ryan, 9.) Connor, 10.) O’Neill, est. 29,100. 11.) Reilly, 12.) Doyle, 13.) McCarthy, 14.) Gallagher, 15.) Doherty, est. 20,800.  16.)Kennedy, 17.) Lynch, 18.) Murray, 19.) Quinn, 20.) Moore, est. 17,700. 21.) McLaughlin, 22.) Carroll, [My grandson, David Carroll, was surprised they ranked that high in Ireland in the 1890 Birth index together with the estimated population bearing each surname, but they did.] 23.) Connolly, 24.) Daly and 25.) Connell est 16,600.  The book continues to 99. Buckley and 100. Dwyer est 8,100.  Then he assembled the same data for the England and Scotland populations with their top 50.  Very interesting.  I would certainly like to see one of these for the US in 1890, but our census for that year is mainly missing, so the response would not be valid. 

The top ten for England are from #1 to #10: Smith, Jones, Williams, Taylor, Davies, Brown, Thomas, Evans, Roberts and Johnson. 

The top ten for Scotland are: from #1 to #10:  Smith, McDonald, Brown, Thom(p)son, Robertson, Stewart, Campbell, Wilson, Anderson and Scott.

You can look up in the index hundreds of various spellings and it will lead to the name from which yours was derived.  Very interesting!  $10    

CRAZY CRATE YOGS 26:  BOOK 6:  IRISH FAMILY RESEARCH MADE SIMPLE.  REVISED EDITION.  E. J. Collins, Summit Publications, 1993.  Before 1922 for 700 years, the British ruled all of Ireland.  Irishmen like to believe that their ancestors constantly struggled against the British rule.  This is not entirely true.  Until modern times, the nineteenth century, the resistance was not always consistent, nor was it concerted.  Many people who came to Ireland as Englishmen, the oppressors, later became the oppressed, as they became absorbed into Ireland.  It is said of some of these Englishmen that they became more Irish than the Irish themselves.  The Table of Contents speaks first of the Irish immigration from their previous homelands.  Then came the Irish History and the Land.  He starts you on your research with the Chapter Begin Your Research into Your Irish Family in the U.S.

Then it is Off to Ireland, by Internet, Telephone, by Letter, through computer, book and microfiche.  There are 19 illustrations in this user-friendly book.  Lots of large print for those of us who are optically challenged!  A great way to begin or augment your search and our special SALE – A – THON book.  You can buy this great 75 page, 11 by 17 inch book folded to 8.5 by 11 inch per page book for, not its regular price of $10, but for only $5.  Order before July 15 to get this bargain!  This book tells you how to, this book tells you when to, and why to and where-to and its on sale!  What could be nicer!  Order for only $5 by July 15, and find that lucky Irish family of yours!  SALE PRICE $5

The Author in his preface says—After researching my own Welsh ancestry [His mother was an Evans!] a pattern of problems became evident.  Nowhere could he find an available and inexpensive reference in layman’s English to help simplify the many perplexing problems posed in researching in Wales.  He wrote this book, among the almost 200 he wrote for us to help you, the genealogists, with this problem.  The bibliography is full of other aids he found in doing the research for Welsh ancestors. 

This book brings together the many resources necessary to solve the problems that are unique in Welsh research.  Learning what records are available, where they are located, is not sufficient in doing Welsh research.  The tremendous language barrier he helps to solve with the translations in the book for first names and of words useful in doing research in Welsh Records.  Also included is an explanation of the unique naming system found only in Wales.  Regular Price $14.  June Sale Price $10.  Order before July 1 to get the sale price.  $10
