This illustrated, well indexed book, was created exclusively to help you find
your family in County Derry also known as County Londonderry, in Ireland.
Focusing specifically on families within the county, it includes an introduction
to research and sources in Derry. The most numerous families from birth records
are given, as well as rather rare Derry families found in heraldic records.
Included you will find a full page county map 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), and 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 Derry.
