County Cavan and County Leitrim, Ireland, genealogy and family history notes by Michael C. O'Laughlin Pdf

This illustrated, well indexed book, was created exclusively to help you find your family in Counties Cavan and Leitrim in Ireland. Focusing specifically on families within these neighbouring counties, the book includes an introduction to research and sources in each county. The most numerous families from birth records are given, as well as rather rare Cavan and Leitrim families found in heraldic records. Included you will find a full page map of both counties from the Atlas of Ireland, along with a listing of modern parishes and old townlands, along with the address and location of records for more research. This work includes copies of actual records (some worn, torn and faded), it also includes rough sketches of family coats of arms and notes from centuries past - seldom found elsewhere. The resources provided here will help research any family in the county, including old Irish families, and settler families from England, Scotland, Wales and the continent. This book is a hands on guide for finding your family in Cavan and Leitrim - some family history is included - but it is not a gigantic collection of family histories. For that see 'The Book of Irish Families Great and Small'.

Leitrim Folk Tales by Susie Minto Pdf

Do you know where the 'twice-richest mountain in Ireland' is? Or what mysterious creature is said to lurk in the waters of Glenade Lake? Or why you should never cheer on a fairy footballer? Discover the answers to these and more in this collection of tales from across the county. Leitrim is the place where, legend has it, Cormac Riabhac, The Irish 'Samson', performed his amazing feats of strength; where Fionn Mac Cumhaill, great warrior of the Fianna, is said to lie buried; and where the wrongful execution of Jack Bircall led to a miraculous cure. It is also said to be the home of a plethora of strange and magical creatures and stories abound of encounters fairies, mermen, enchanted cows and even supernatural salmon. These stories, beautifully illustrated by Tracey Jean Yappa, bring to life the county's varied landscape, from its lofty mountains to its bogs and loughs, and along the mighty Shannon River, whose twisting path was said to have been carved out by the antics of the giant serpent, the 'Great Ollphéist'.

Life Begins in Leitrim by Zak Moradi,Niall Kelly Pdf

The road to Croke Park can be a long one. For Leitrim hurler Zak Moradi, it was an odyssey. Born at the height of the Gulf War, Zak spent his formative years living in a refugee camp in Ramadi, Iraq, under the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein. Eventually, he and his family settled in Carrick-on- Shannon, County Leitrim, and this is where life began. Zak couldn't speak English when he first arrived, and he didn't know what sport the boys in his class were playing. It was hurling; he was handy at it, and he picked it up quickly. The GAA gave Zak his chance to put down roots, learn valuable life skills and find friendship. A story of adversity, community and hope, Life Begins in Leitrim is Zak's moving reflection, twenty years later, on the culture shock of landing in rural Ireland; the importance of embracing difference; the continued suffering of refugees around the world; the power of sport; and the realisation that, really, we're not all that different from each other. 'Inspiring ... testament to the power of sport and the kindness of people.' Pat Spillane 'An unputdownable story of overcoming adversity.' Philly McMahon

Leitrim by Patrick McGarty Pdf

Using a wide variety of sources in Ireland and Britain, Patrick McGarty has produced an absorbing, comprehensive and insightful exploration of County Leitrim during the Irish Revolution. This wide-ranging study details social, political, cultural and military developments from the introduction of the ill-fated third home rule in 1912 through the First World War, Irish War of Independence and Civil War. The decade witnessed extraordinary upheaval and unrest at both a national and a local level. In Leitrim there was a decisive political transformation with the collapse of the Irish Parliamentary Party and the unprecedented rise of Sinn Fein. McGarty pays close attention to how various modes of resistance were deployed first against British rule and after the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 against the pro-Treaty Irish government. These included political violence and widespread campaigns of boycott and intimidation and this study provides new insights on the nature and implications of both republican and state violence. McGarty offers a novel and compelling account of the Irish Revolution in a so-called 'quiet' county.

Kiltubrid, County Leitrim by Liam Kelly Pdf

Kiltubrid, a rural parish in south Leitrim, was designated a 'congested district' - a euphemism for an impoverished place - under the terms of the 1891 land act. This book is a study of the parish under three headings, houses, land and people. It traces the changes that took place in the parish throughout the 19th century, especially the impact of the Great Famine, and presents a dynamic picture of a rural and conservative society that was slow to embrace change. However the primary focus for this study is the lives of ordinary people in Kiltubrid in the often neglected decade of the 1890s. Henry Doran's report to the Congested Districts Board and the photographs of Leland L.Duncan are among the rich and varied sources used in this book.
