“It is said the Irish dwell too much on the past. But anyone interested in their background will find this book fascinating. It contains a compelling chronicle of the history of fifty well-known Irish family surnames from their origins to the seventeenth century.
Each surname is the subject of a separate article with special attention to early parish seats, such as castles, parishes and townlands, and associations with various families throughout the county and country. The origins of the surnames are also explained, information not readily accessible elsewhere, thus providing a reliable foundation for everyone endeavouring to trace his/her ancestry.”
