The Visitation of Ireland is a collection of Irish pedigrees containing such information aswas included in the Herald's Visitations of the 16th and 17th centuries.The pedigrees begin,as was customary in the older Visitations, with the grandparents of the representative ofthe family and certain notices of all descendants, giving thus, in many cases, a completerecord of five or more generations. Each pedigree is worked out with meticulous detail andeach is authoritative.
Several thousand connections and collateral descendants are cited in the 150 pedigreescontained in this one volume, which must be reckoned the only collection of Irish pedigreesnow in print. The high standard of accuracy reflected in the pedigrees is handsomelycomplemented by profuse illustrations which include portraits, coats of arms, autographs,seals, and book-plates. The researcher is thus afforded the satisfaction of comprehensivematerials from which to work. |
