Irish Resources at SoG & Elsewhere

With SoG members having been at the forefront of the 1930s movement to discover or recreate copies of Irish records lost in the fire of the Four Courts in Dublin in 1922, the Society of Genealogists Library holds many useful and interesting resources for those researching Irish ancestors. From transcripts of early wills and chancery materials to compiled genealogies, this talk will look at some of the rather underused Irish resources at the SoG.
