Tracing Your Kildare Ancestors – Mario Corrigan, James Durney, Karel Kiely

Tracing your Kildare ancestors is a comprehensive, easily understood, well organised, illustrated guide and useful for anyone researching Kildare ancestors.  National Genealogical Society Quarterly

..While resources for family tracing have never been so accessible, there is still a need for guidance along the long and sometimes frustrating road in pursuit of a family tree. This is where the content of a new book “Tracing your Kildare Ancestors” will act as a manual for navigating the highways and byways for Lilywhites (Kildare people) setting out to trace their roots whether these are in the short grass of the county’s blood stock belt or deep in the peatlands of West Kildare. The authors are Kildare’s own ‘troika’ of research champions… their book is a comprehensive guide to the range of records available …. and guides the researcher sure-footedly through the sometimes arcane terminologies encountered when dealing with old public records. …   For those who wish to climb the family tree, the book will provide first class guidance to exploring the roots and branches. However, be careful when shaking the family tree – there is a risk that a few nuts will fall out of the foliage. ‘Looking Back’ column by Liam Kenny in Leinster Leader newspaper
