Many more Huguenots migrated individually or in small groups throughout the period.

Book - Your Irish Ancestors, A Guide For Family Historians
By Ian Maxwell
Aimed primarily at the family and social historian, Ian Maxwell's highly readable guide introduces researchers to the wealth of material available in archives throughout Ireland. Many records, like the early twentieth century census returns and school registers will be familiar to researchers, but others have been traditionally overlooked by all but the most experienced genealogists. Each chapter takes the form of a detailed social history showing how the lives of our ancestors changed over the centuries and how this is reflected in the records that have survived, and it is in this broad historical approach that Ian Maxwell's work stands out from other guides to Irish genealogy.

BOOK - Merchants in Plenty: Joseph Smyth's Belfast Directories of 1807 and 1808
With an Historical Introduction and Bibliography of Belfast Directories to 1900 by J. R. R. Adams

By Joseph Smyth and J. R. R. Adams. The directories here reprinted, from unique copies in the Linen Hall Library, vividly recreate this Belfast of cotton mills and learned societies, sailmakers and booksellers. It will be of interest both to genealogists and to those who care for the history of Belfast. The Belfast of the first decade of the nineteenth century was a bustling and growing town of some 22,000 inhabitants. It was dominated by the cotton industry and the linen trade. The foundations of such potentially important enterprises as engineering and shipbuilding were being laid. Yet this was still a period when a trip to Dublin took twenty-one hours by coach (with a double guard for extra security) and when the inhabitants were ferried round the town by sedan chair.

BOOK - The Palatine Families of Ireland - Second Edition
By Henry Z. Jones, Jr.
Representing 30 years of research, this study of the 1710 Palatine immigrants to Ireland includes documentation on 172 different surnames and for 33 of the families there is an added bonus - establishment of their German ancestry - making that vital but difficult link back into Germany. There is also an addendum on 'possible' Palatine families in Ireland, where documentation is lacking. Many descendants of the 1710 settlers moved later in the 18th century to Canada and America. The Germanic names now often sound 'Irish' and many descendants, whether in Ireland, Canada, or America, are unaware of their heritage.

By Richard Brooks. A uniquely comprehensive survey of military actions fought on British and Irish soil - and in British and Irish waters - from the earliest times. "There have been a number of British battle books before, but never one as comprehensive, as scholarly - and as readable - as this". The meat of the volume is its 377 'battle articles' - from the skirmish between Caesar's invading Romans at Dover in 55BC, to the air battles fought between the RAF and the Luftwaffe above southern England in the late summer of 1940. These articles are underpinned by a wealth of additional material, both editorial and graphic, including for each battle a 'scoreboard' boxed panel of key data, including details of protagonists, size of armies involved, commanders and casualties.

BOOK - Flight From Famine, The Coming Of The Irish To Canada
By Donald MacKay
One of Canada's founding peoples, the Irish arrived in the Newfoundland fishing stations as early as the seventeenth century. By the eighteenth century they were establishing farms and settlements from Nova Scotia to the Great Lakes. Then, in the 1840s, came the failures of Ireland's potato crop, which people in the west of Ireland had depended on for survival. The famine survivors who helped build Canada in the years that followed Black '47 provide a testament to courage, resilience, and perseverance. By the time of Confederation, the Irish population of Canada was second only to the French, and four million Canadians can claim proud Irish descent.
