Reading material for researching

Post by smcarberry » Sun Dec 21, 2008 7:54 pm

Using a U.K. library's collection search engine, I located some books and articles that are unfamiliar to me, so they may be
new to you as well. I am trying to show only the most obscure titles, as there have been prior postings on Clare message
boards regarding well-known authors like Ignatius Murphy, Gerard Madden, Ciarán Ó Murchadha, and Seán Kierse, and
the familiar publications of Sliabh Aughty and The Other Clare. I show just a few articles from Dal gCais since I think there
is a longer listing already posted in the Rootsweb Clare mailing list's archives. There are also two books online via Google.

Hope these may prove useful.
