Published by the Irish Genealogical Foundation, this book was originally made for members researching in Longford. What this book does. This work includes copies of actual records (some worn, torn and faded), from the IGF Library. 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.

(For that see 'The Book of Irish Families, great & small', the first book in the Irish Families series by O'Laughlin.)

Book Description
Now available in paperback, this book describes, for the first time, the nature of the unique economic areal system of Gaelic Ireland as it developed and changed between the Early Medieval and Anglo-Norman periods, with special emphasis on the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The origins of this system are explored in their European context, and the components of the system: local kingdom, tricha cet, late-tuath and baile biataig, are explored, described and understood. Special attention is given to the role of kingship in this early society, as well as to the lesser grades within society. A large part of this work of political geography is taken up with the task of listing and describing the area of each cantred/tricha cet by use of a newly developed methodology of boundary study. These are then represented cartographically. This methodology reveals the close relationship between Gaelic and Anglo-Norman areal units in a remarkable pattern of continuity. The various component units of the tricha cet, from the townland upwards, are examined of themselves and in addition shown to have great relevance for the study of such subjects as taxation, corporate kinship landholding, military levy, and even the origins of the rural Irish sense of place. This is the first book to be published on this neglected and important area of study, the areal Irish medieval landscape. It has been described variously by Irish and British reviewers as 'a seminal work', 'a landmark publication', as having 'the potential to be a paradigm shifting work', and as 'essential reading for anyone involved in the study of Early Ireland'. In addition to its relevance to Irish medieval history, the book has been described as providing a new approach 'to land tenure elsewhere, particularly but not exclusively in the British Isles'.

Book Description
This book gives an insight into the Irish revolution, and seeks to explain how it came about, through a study of events at a regional level. County Longford was the scene of Sinn FÃ?Â?Ã?Â?inÃ?Â?Ã?Â-s crucial by-election victories in 1917 and an active area of IRA operations during the War of Independence. Sinn FÃ?Â?Ã?Â?inÃ?Â?Ã?Â-s victory in the by-election acted as a catalyst for the rapid spread of the movement throughout Longford in the latter half of 1917. Marie Coleman discusses the political aspect of the revolution by examining the importance of administrative charges as Sinn FÃ?Â?Ã?Â?in and DÃ?Â?Ã?Â-il .ireann usurped the functions of the courts and local government, and then goes on to describe the military side of the revolution. A narrative account of the War of Independence and Civil War in Longford is followed by a personnel profile of the Volunteers and Cumann na mBan respectively, outlining their activities at various stages of the independence campaign, and examining their motivation for joining these organisations and engaging in violent activity.
