For more in-depth descriptions of these books and to ORDER ONLINE NEW RELEASES Clan Callaghan: The O Callaghan Family of County Cork. Revised Edition Joseph F. O Callaghan This impeccably researched and stylishly written family history traces the O Callaghans (Callaghan, Callahan) from their mythic beginnings in Ireland to their present-day progeny in County Cork, Spain, the United States, Aus- tralia, and other places. Prepared by Joseph F. O Callaghan, distinguished pro- fessor emeritus of medieval history at Fordham University, Clan Callaghan is the standard against which all future studies of this family will be measured. The O Callaghan family is an ancient one, tracing its descent in Ireland from the 10th-century king, Cellachán of Cashel, celebrated in the annals and in the mists of legend. From their original homeland around Cashel, the O Callaghans migrated into County Cork, where they became—and remain today—one of the largest family groups. The core of Professor O Callaghan’s narrative traces the Clan Callaghan’s fortunes from the extension of English control throughout Ireland during the course of the 16th and 17th centuries through the great Irish diaspora of the 19th and 20th centuries. For example, in 1594 the chieftain, Conor of the Rock, surrendered the clan lands to the Crown, receiving them back to be held thereafter under English law as a personal estate for himself and his immedi- ate family. Following the treaty of Limerick in 1691 many O Callaghan soldiers went abroad to serve in the armies of France, Spain, and Germany and to set down new roots. The failure of the potato crop and the Great Famine in the 1840s decimated Ireland’s population and stimulated emigration. Colonel John O Callaghan of Bodyke in Clare gained notoriety for hostile relations with his tenants, while the O Callaghans of Dromcummer in Cork exemplified the many who were evicted for failure to meet their rental obligation. As the 20th century opened, the failure to gain Home Rule dealt a severe blow to the parliamentary tradition and prompted the Easter rebellion in 1916. In the struggle for independence Michael O Callaghan, former Lord Mayor of Limerick, was assassinated by the Black and Tans, and Donal O Callaghan, Lord Mayor of Cork, represented the family. By this time, of course, the great migration of the late 19th century to England, America, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere was on. Seeking to escape wretchedness at home and to find better lives for themselves and their children, thousands of O Callaghans (most identified as Callaghans) took part in this diaspora. As the author docu- ments, they or their descendants achieved a measure of prosperity unknown at home and some achieved great distinction as historians, theologians, biblical scholars, military heroes, and in nearly every other form of human endeavor. Adding to the volume’s historical value, Professor O Callaghan has pro- vided sixteen genealogical charts that outline numerous O Callaghan lines, including the O Callaghans of Rathmore, Clare, Tipperary, Muskerry, Ban- teer, Dromore, Glynn, Lismehane, Spain, and Philadelphia, the author’s place of origin. Persons with ancestors possessing the following surnames are also likely to have O Callaghan connections: Barry, Butler, Callaghan, Callahan,

This work also includes individuals with New England connections who did not run away from those colonies. The advertisers discovered that tracking an individual by name often lead to a dead end as multiple names were common, and middle names were not often used at this time. Researchers should also be prepared for phonetic spell- ings such as Wamscom/Wombscom, Bargary/Bargery, and Jonson/Johnston/ Johnson. If an individual is listed with more than one name, all the names appear in the index. While many of the Negroes and some Indians are listed as slaves, many are not, so they may have been paid servants. People described as mixed Indian and Negroe blood are indexed under both races. Mulattoes are listed as Negroes with exceptions such as an unnamed “Indian Molatto Man”. Those designated as “Mustees” are listed separately when of unspecified mixed races. In compiling this work, Mr. Boyle examined 23 newspapers from New England to Maryland, including The Boston Evening-Post, The Boston Ga- zette, The Connecticut Gazette, The New England Courant, The American Weekly Mercury, The Rhode Island Gazette, and The New York Evening Post. Each ad gives a number of details about the runaway and his/her master, in- cluding names and aliases of the runaway, physical description, personality quirks if any, location in New England (including the future states of Vermont and Maine), and where to contact the advertiser. In all, this book, the first in a projected three-volume series, contains about 1,500 runaway ads and names over 3,000 persons with connections to colonial New England. 434 pp., indexed, paper.

Volume IV David Dobson Scotland has had strong economic, social, and military links with the Neth- erlands since the medieval period, but the main period of Scottish settlement occurred in the 17th century. Scottish scholars had long been attracted by the opportunities available in the universities of Holland, Zealand, and Flanders, especially for courses in law and medicine.

Scots com- munities, with their own churches, could be found throughout Holland and Zealand in particular. A small number of Dutch merchants and craftsmen also settled in Scotland, some of whom had been attracted in 1672 when the Scottish government in- vited inhabitants of the United Provinces with the incentive of full naturaliza- tion. For its part, Scotland was keen to acquire the advanced technological, mercantile, and maritime skills of the Dutch. Possibly the greatest part of the Scots found in the Netherlands were sol- diers fighting in the service of the United Provinces against the Spanish Haps- burgs. The Scots Brigade in Dutch Service was founded in 1572 and contin- ued until 1782, during which time a significant number of men from Scotland fought and later settled in the Netherlands. A number of them and their de- scendants emigrated to the Dutch settlements in America, stretching from the Hudson River to the West Indies and Surinam. This book is based mainly on primary sources, notably the records of the High Court of the Admiralty of Scotland. In each case, Mr. Dobson states the individual’s name, occupation (soldier, merchant, student, etc.), date of the reference, and the source. Marriage entries typically give the Scot’s name and place of origin, those of his spouse, and sometimes the name(s) of parents, or more. In a few cases, the references are to Dutch persons who migrated in the opposite direction, lured by Scotland’s offer of full naturalization.

ISBN 9780806359137. #8716. $22.50 People of the Hebrides, 1800–1850 David Dobson This book attempts to identify residents of the Hebrides, especially of the islands of Skye, Islay, Mull, Lewis, and Harris, and Hebrideans who chose to emigrate to the Carolinas, Maritime Canada, and Australia during the early 19th century. The Hebrides are a small group of islands off the west coast of Scotland. The second half of the 18th century saw a significant increase in the population of the Scottish Highlands, one greater than the ability of the local economy to sustain. This pressure contributed to an outflow of population from the Highlands—of which the Hebrides were a part—to the burgeoning industrial towns of Lowland Scotland and England, as well as to the Americas and Australia. A major source of employment for these Highlanders was in military service with the British Army. Many of these veterans, encouraged by the British government, decided to stake their futures in America and Canada. In the end, unemployment, destitution, and the large-scale evictions were the main reasons for emigration from the Highlands and notably the Hebrides. Most modern Hebridean place names are Anglicized versions of the origi- nal Gaelic place names. The Hebrideans were Gaelic speakers so the Gaelic place names which they would have used have been added. What is differ- ent about Highlander emigration is that they—including the Hebrideans— emigrated as family groups, settling together where they could maintain their Gaelic language, culture, and religion, often in frontier locations such as Cape

In all, this work, drawing upon primary sourc- es in Scotland and abroad, identifies close to 1,500 heads of household from the Hebrides by name, a date, a place in the islands, and the source. Since most of these travelers were accompanied by family members, the listings provide several names and relationships of three or four times as many per- sons overall. viii, 156 pp., paper.

During that span, around one million left Ireland, mainly for North America, but also in smaller numbers for Australia, as well as the industrializing towns of Brit- ain. Most of those bound for North America sailed from Irish ports, though others sailed via Liverpool or Glasgow. This volume is based on primary sources located in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Scotland, England, and the West Indies. Such primary sources include manuscripts, newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and government records. The author has arranged the list of roughly 1,000 new persons found in Part 10 of this series alphabetically by the emigrant’s surname and, in the majority of cases, provides us with most of the follow- ing particulars: date of birth, name of ship, occupation in Ireland, reason for emigration, sometimes place of origin in Ireland, place of disembarkation in the New World, date of arrival, number of persons in the household, and the source of the information.

The Earliest Irish Royal Family: History and Genealogy. Third Edition William Randolph McCreight This superb genealogical and historical account traces the O’Sullivan sept 31 generations from the author’s Carolina origins to the family’s Irish roots in 170 AD. Based on examinations of archaeological, linguistic, and DNA evidence, Mr. McCreight shows that the O’Sullivans may be the oldest docu- mented royal family on record This work traces six O’Sullivan lines to France, Spain, and America. Mr. McCreight sets the stage for his genealogies with a lavishly illustrated his- torical essay that places the O’Sullivan fortunes and misfortunes in histori- cal context. At their height in Ireland, the O’Sullivans controlled hundreds of thousands of acres and occupied 32 castles, principally in counties Kerry and Cork. Like many of their counterparts who resisted the English inva- sions under Queen Elizabeth, Oliver Cromwell, and the Stuarts, most of the O’Sullivans expatriated to France, Spain, and America. The author’s earliest American forebear arrived in Virginia from Ireland in 1655. Full of colorful

Research in France starts with the vital records of birth, marriage, and death, which fall into two categories: parish registers before 1792 and civil registrations after 1792. Because most records were created at the town level, identifying an ancestor’s town of origin is critical. Once determined (with tips given here to make it easier), research is generally conducted in the collections of departmental archives, including notarial records and censuses that are gradually being digitized and placed online. Municipal archives and libraries are rapidly digitizing their records as well, and this guide concludes with a list of helpful websites. 8½" x 11", 4 pp., folded and laminated.

It includes sections on the basics of dating photographs and identifying his- torical eras from hairstyles or clothing. Similarly, legal terms found in genea- logical records are identified in one of the several glossaries. Other lists cover antiquated names of diseases and calamities as well as units of measurement used in bygone days. There are glossaries of genealogical terms, nicknames, surnames, place names, and occupations. The author has prepared a section on problems to anticipate at the county courthouse, offers hints for deciphering old handwriting, discusses different types of calendars, and has incorporated time lines of American history, migration, and transportation. Other topics covered are the range of records at the National Archives, the evolution of the U.S. census, finding information in museums, using library vertical files, and much more—all from the practical standpoint of solving a problem on site. It is the closest thing we know of in the way of an all-purpose manual to help you once you’ve arrived at your destination. 281 pp., paper.

Four Volumes Bound in Two Daughters of the American Revolution The Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890, and soon after the National Society began publishing Lineage Books with abstracts of the pedigrees of members. These books show the descent from one or more ancestors who contributed to the Revolutionary cause. By 1940 some 160 volumes had appeared, each containing about 1,000 lineages and an index to the Revolutionary ancestors, called the “Roll of Honor,” and an index of the “Daughters” whose pedigrees were in the volume. Recognizing the need for a convenient key to the lineages, between 1916 and 1940 the DAR condensed the names of 50,000 Revolutionary ancestors in the “Rolls of Honor” and the volume and page references concerning their 160,000 “Daughters” into a comprehensive four-volume index. For conve- nience, we have reprinted the full four-volume text in two volumes. 2 vols. 1,734 pp. in all, paper. ISBN 9780806305097. #1330. $172.00/set New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial.

Acclaimed in 1839 for its demonstration “of an oral imaginative lore among the aborigi- nes of this continent,” it helped to establish the Indian as the main subject of 19th-century folklore scholarship and demonstrated the importance of tales and legends in piecing together the history of Native Americans. The book also advanced the idea of comparative studies in folklore scholarship. Most important, given today’s resurgent interest in Native American mythology, Algic Researches contains accounts of nearly 50 of the elemental myths and legends of the Odjibwa, Chippewa, Ottowa, Shawnee, Maskego, Saginaw, Algonquin, and Sioux. 492 pp., paper.

The Final Rolls approved by the Commission contained the names of 101,000 Native Americans. Most rolls give name, age, sex, degree of Indian blood, and the number of the enrollment card on which each citizen was en- rolled. In 1907 the Commission published the Final Rolls along with an Index. The Index volume, divided by tribe, provides the Indian’s name and the roll number. The roll number is the key to the Final Rolls volume, which lists enrollees by tribe and category and thereunder by name, age, sex, degree of blood, and the number of the census card. 2 vols. 633 & 635 pp., paper.
