With comprehensive indexing and 22 full-color illustrations, this deluxe paperback edition explores the genealogical traditions of the O'Brien family of Thomond for over a millennium before they took the surname O Briain. Once considered lost, these are the genealogical secrets of the Celtic Iron Age and Migration Period. To tell this story, the author accessed the mass of information preserved in the Irish Language since the 7th century in Ireland's most important genealogical manuscripts. These precious documents had been hidden away in a handful of collections since the physical and cultural genocide of the Gaeil in the 17th century, and were therefore inaccessible until recently to almost all Irish, their diaspora, and their genealogists. Happily, these Irish Language manuscripts have finally been set in type and published after waiting between 350 and 850 years. Because this book uses and translates into English this ancient but newly-available genealogical tradition as it relates to the O'Briens of Thomond, it is the first of its kind about the O'Briens in the modern era. Physical description - This is the revised, Fifth Deluxe Paperback Edition of 222 pages, 7 X 10 inch format, including 22 color illustrations and comprehensive indexing.
