(Most families remain centered in the same areas in Ireland).This is an enlarged print out of the birth index of Ireland. It lists every surname found, and the county it was found in. Larger print makes it easier to read than the original. We have added a map of the counties and provinces along with commentary. Research aid published by the Irish Genealogical Foundation.
