William P. W. Phillimore and Gertrude Thrift
Hardbound volume totaling
827
pages. Book is in excellent condition. Just what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
I
ndexes  to Irish Wills
is an alphabetical index of over 30,000 Diocesan wills  proved in the Consistorial Courts of Ireland between 1536 and 1857. Arranged by  Dioceses, and preceded by maps showing in which Dioceses the various Irish  counties are situated, the
Indexes
provide  the name of the testator, his parish, county, and the date of probate and are,  in short, complete lists of Diocesan wills proved up until 1857, when the  various ecclesiastical courts were abolished by Act of Parliament and superseded  by the Probate Court.
Since the Public Record Office in Dublin was destroyed by fire in  1922, information furnished by this work is very often the only source for  determining the social and financial status of an ancestor. These indexes also  provide clues for checking land records for an estate partition and transfers of  lease from testator to heir.
This volume is a perfect companion to Sir Arthur Vicars'
Index  to the Prerogative Wills of Ireland, 1536-1810

Irish Settlers in America
Michael O'Brien
Two volumes, hardback  books totaling
1282
pages.The  books are in excellent condition. Michael J. O'Brien was the  historian and chief contributor to the Journal of the American Irish Historical  Society during its years of publication, 1898-1941. O'Brien's numerous articles  were united by a common objective--to explode the "Scotch-Irish myth," in effect  to demonstrate that the Catholic Irish were more numerous than the Ulster Irish  in the early days of immigration and more prominent in the affairs of state.  O'Brien's collected articles now form a reference work of encyclopedic  proportions--accessible, comprehensive, and convenient--and they touch upon the  entire spectrum of colonial American history. In the 132 articles assembled  here, O'Brien lists no fewer than
25,000
pioneers and settlers, his information deriving from both manuscript and printed  sources. The two-volume consolidation also contains a new preface, a descriptive  table of contents, and indexes.
