In this, the fully updated second edition of his bestselling guide
to researching Irish history using the internet, Chris Paton shows
the extraordinary variety of sources that can now be accessed
online. Although Ireland has lost many records that would have been
of great interest to family historians, he demonstrates that a
great deal of information survived and is now easily available to
the researcher. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of the Public
Record Office of Northern Ireland, the National Archives of
Ireland, organizations such as FindmyPast Ireland, Ancestry.co.uk
and RootsIreland and the volunteer genealogical community, an
ever-increasing range of Ireland's historical resources are
accessible from afar. As well as exploring the various categories
of records that the family historian can turn to, Chris Paton
illustrates their use with fascinating case studies. He fully
explores the online records available from both the north and the
south from the earliest times to the present day. Many overseas
collections are also included, and he looks at social networking in
an Irish context where many exciting projects are currently
underway. His book is an essential introduction and source of
reference for anyone who is keen to trace their Irish roots.
