A recent Maritz Poll reported that 60% of Americans are interested in their family history. And with good reason. Through genealogy, you can go back into history to meet people who have had more influence on your life than any others -- your ancestors. And the better you get to know your ancestors, the better you will get to know yourself: the who's and what's and why's of you. Barbara Renick, a nationally-known lecturer on genealogy, tells the uninitiated researcher the steps needed to find out who their ancestors really were, and brings together for even the more experienced genealogical researchers the important principles and practices. She covers such topics as the importance of staying organized and how to go about it; where and how to look for information in libraries, historical societies, and on the internet; recognizing that just because something is in print doesn't mean it's right; and how to prepare to visit the home where your ancestors lived. Genealogy 101 is the first book to read when you want to discover who your ancestors were, where they lived, and what they did.

Help Finding Your Family in County Roscommon This illustrated, well indexed book, was created exclusively to help you find your family in County Roscommon, Ireland. Focusing specifically on families within the county, it includes an introduction to research and sources in Roscommon. The most numerous families from birth records are given, as well as rather rare Roscommon 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. Published by the Irish Genealogical Foundation, this book was originally made for members researching in Roscommon. What this book does This work includes copies of actual records (some worn, torn and faded), from the IGF Library. 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 Roscommon- some family history is included - but it is not a gigantic collection of family histories . (For that see 'The Book of Irish Families, great & small', the first book in the Irish Families series by O'Laughlin.) The Irish Families Project for Roscommon The Master book to the 29 volume Irish Families series is 'The Book of Irish Families, great & small'. That book gives hundreds of family histories from County Roscommon, and the surrounding areas. " County Roscommon Genealogy and Family History Notes", volume 23 in the series, expands upon that coverage with added families and new resources just for Roscommon. (In this way both books can work together as a set if desired, or they may be used independently for research.) The Most Numerous Families Among the most numerous families here in the 19th century were: MacDermott, Kelly, O'Connor (Conner), Beirne, Regan (Reagan), Flannigan (Flanigan), Connor, McDonagh (MacDonough), Quinn (Quin), Murray, Brennan, Higgins, Towey (Tuohey), Kenny and Flynn (Flinn).. Among the many other noted families of Roscommon were Hayes, (Hays) McAneeny (MacAniny), Mc Dockery, Gormley (Gormly) and Duignan. The major towns of Roscommon included Strokestown, Boyle, and Castlerea......
