More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Ireland was one of the earliest countries to evolve a system of hereditary surnames. More than 4,000 Gaelic, Norman and Anglo-Irish surnames are listed in this book, giving a wealth of information on the background and location of Irish families. Edward MacLysaght was a leading authority on Irish names and family history. He served as Chief Herald and Genealogical Officer of the Irish Office of Arms. He was also Keeper of Manuscripts of the National Library of Ireland and was Chairman of the Manuscripts Commission. This book, which was first published in 1957 and now is in its sixth edition, is being reprinted for the fourth time and remains the definitive record of Irish surnames, their genealogy and their origins.

An absolute must!,
This review is from: The Surnames of Ireland (Paperback)
Edward MacLysaght's The Surnames of Ireland is a 'must have' for anybody seriously interested in Irish genealogy.
The research in compiling this book was clearly second to none.

Irish Family Historians,
By Sharron Owen (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Surnames of Ireland (Paperback)
This has got to be the definitive text for the study of Irish names. Written by the former Chief Herald of Ireland it is informative and written in a clear and easy to read format. Great for just dipping into or for serious study
2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By
This review is from: Surnames of Ireland (Hardcover)
Didn't feel condition of book was as advertised therefore disappointed.
Book contents very useful. Would be cautious of buying secondhand books on line again. Would perhaps want to see better image of advertised product.
