This illustrated, well indexed book, was created exclusively to help you find
your family in Counties Cavan and Leitrim in Ireland. Focusing
specifically on families within these neighbouring counties, the book includes
an introduction to research and sources in each county. The most numerous
families from birth records are given, as well as rather rare Cavan and Leitrim
families found in heraldic records. Included you will find a full page map of
both counties from the Atlas of Ireland, along with a listing of modern parishes
and old townlands, along with the address and location of records for more
research.
This work includes copies of actual records (some worn, torn and faded), it
also includes rough sketches of family coats of arms and notes from centuries
past - seldom found elsewhere. The resources provided here will help research
any family in the county, including old Irish families, and settler families
from England, Scotland, Wales and the continent. This book is a hands on guide
for finding your family in Cavan and Leitrim - some family history is included -
but it is not a gigantic collection of family histories. For that see 'The Book
of Irish Families Great and Small'.
'Genealogy and Family History of Cavan and Leitrim' , expands on information
that is 'The Book of Irish Families Great and Small', with added families and
new resources just for Cavan and Leitrim. In this way both books can work
together as a set if desired, or they may be used independently for research.
