We recently received new editions of two of popular Irish research guides published by Flyleaf Press in Dublin. And we got restocked yesterday, so be decided to again offer all the guides at 15% off – through May 29, 2020. The new editions are:
Tracing your Mayo Ancestors – Third Edition; by Brian Smith; 160 pp; Paperback; 5.75×9; Published: 2019; ISBN: 9781907990; Illustrated; Item # FLP004-2
This is an updated 2019 Third Edition. The families of Mayo are a mixture of native families, of Gaelic families who migrated from Ulster in the 18th Century, and of English and Scotch-Irish settlers who came to Mayo from the 17th century onward. However, Mayo experienced a high level of emigration to North America, Scotland, and elsewhere in Britain. In comparison with most other Irish counties, Mayo has fewer records of value to family historians. This makes it important to use the existing records to their best advantage. The main Mayo families include Walsh, Gallagher, Kelly, O’Malley, Moran, MacHale, Gibbons, Joyce, Connor, Conway, Higgins, Murphy, Burke, Bourke, Reilly or Riley, Durkan or Durkin, Doherty, McHugh, MacHugh, Sweeney, Sweeny and Lyons. This book sets out the records available, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect in tracing Mayo families.
Tracing your Sligo Ancestors – Second Edition; by James G. Ryan; 160 pp; Paperback; Published: 2019; ISBN: 9781907990359; Item # FLP018-2
This is an updated 2019 Second Edition. Originally printed in 2012. Sligo is a maritime county in the Northwest of Ireland, perhaps most famous for its scenery and as the home of the poet W.B. Yeats. Sligo families are a mixture of native Gaelic families, and of some Cromwellian settlers who arrived in the 17th century. The county is nestled between Mayo and Leitrim. Common names include: Scanlon, O’Healy, Brennan, Gallagher, O’Hara, O’Gara, O’Dowd, Kelly, Burke, Boland, McDonnell, McDonagh, Conlon, Breheny, Kelly, Feeney, Gallagher, Gilmartin, McGowan, (O)’Hart, Higgins, Connor/ O’Connor, >McDonagh, Walsh, Egan, and(O)’Crean. The main ‘gentry’ families in the county are: Cooper, Crofton, Gore, Nicholson, Ormsby, Parke, Phibbs, Irwin,and Wood. It is one of the counties which experienced a high level of emigration to North America and elsewhere, and the port of Sligo was a major port of embarkation during the mass exodus of the famine period. Sligo’s population was over 180,000 prior to the great famine of the 18402. It has again grown over the decades and is now 65,000. This book sets out the records available for Sligo, where they can be accessed, and how they can be used to best effect in tracing Sligo families.
