Format:Paperback
It is necessary when embarking on genealogical research in any new country to first acquaint oneself with (i) its geography and (ii) its administrative divisions, before next going on to find out what records exist for them. This genealogical atlas, which is clearly and attractively laid out, fulfils the first two roles admirably for a country whose genealogy is a nightmare because of the documentary losses sustained in the 1922 uprising. I would imagine that knowledge of its contents, and the same author's, "Guide to Irish Parish Registers", were a must for anyone hoping to make serious use of the country's official archives.

An essential item for anyone trying to trace their Irish roots. However the Poor Law maps are unlinked to any guide so am assuming they are linked to Church of Ireland parrishes? Larger fold out maps would also have helped.

An invaluable contribution to genealogical reference
7 Jun 2002
Format:Paperback
Now in an updated second edition, genealogy research expert Brian Mitchell's A New Genealogical Atlas Of Ireland is a very straightforward, accessible reference, presenting maps of each Irish county. Each county has five maps: one depicting the Church of Ireland parishes, one showing the baronies and Church of Ireland dioceses, one of the poor law unions and parishes included within probate districts, one of Roman Catholic parishes and dioceses, and a fifth set of maps for the nine counties of Northern Ireland shows Presbyterian congregations. Since civil registration for everyone in Ireland didn't begin until 1864, A New Genealogical Atlas Of Ireland is an extremely useful reference for tracing ancestors who lived prior to 1864. An invaluable contribution to genealogical reference and resource materials.

Very thorough resource...
22 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is just what it is called: an atlas. It does not give advice or information about irish history, genealogy, or anything of the sort (which is what I had mistakenly hoped for). It is a very, very detailed atlas of the counties, parishes, and every other conceivable subdivision of the land of Ireland over the last 200 years. It could be a valuable resource for anyone who has their genealogical research within Ireland already. If you are like me, and have traced the family to the boat ride but no further, this will not help you quite yet.
Thank you still to the author for the extensive research that must have gone into this!
