description: This birth index of Ireland gives the family researcher several pieces of information that will prove most useful. First, it gives the county or counties of location for the name in Ireland along with the geographical province. Second, it gives the relative number of births for each surname having 5 or more births in the year it was recorded. The locations given are considered generally accurate for the entire 19th century, (1800 - 1899), and the formal survey was made in 1890. Researchers can also compare the locations of different names in Ireland, i.e. husband and wifes family location in Ireland. A very helpful index that every researcher should be familiar with. Map of Ireland with counties and provinces is provided along with new commentary introducing the work itself. The index appears exactly as in the original in the Foundation Library, and shows some signs of age. Lay flat binding is helpful for research use.
