5.0 out of 5 stars Great for genealogy searches

I ordered this book, because I knew from experience what fine, accurate work John Grenham does. I am delighted with the new edition. After it arrived I did a quick comparison with my second edition of the work. Fantastic information added to the 5th edition--many new online resources noted with great advice on using them. I have already discovered two more of my Irish ancestors with the help of the newest edition's information. A gentle word of advice: It is good also to keep earlier editions of the book if you have them as later editions, like the 5th, need to drop some earlier material, otherwise the newer editions would become unmanageably huge!

Excellent book for Irish geneology. I have been searching my relatives in Ireland since the 90's and if you have also been looking for long lost family you know how challenging it is to find records in Ireland. This book is my best resource

This book is by far the most comprehensive and clearly presented reference on Irish research methodology, and as declared, expands on areas changing - in particular: digitation, online research, and rapidly changing and evolving genetic genealogy.

I should have gone for a newer edition, as it would have been more comprehensive concerning the internet. That, however, was my error. This book is excellent when it comes to the basics re Irish Ancestor research.

The book itself is in excellent shape, "new" condition as promised, and the delivery was speedy!
