Update on my Pen and Sword family history books

Pen and Sword has now updated the pre-order page for my next book, Tracing Your Irish Family History Through Land Records, with the new cover image. The book is available at the pre-order price of £11.99 plus p&p, and will be available from the end of September this year. You can pre-order your copy at https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Irish-Ancestors-Through-Land-Records-Paperback/p/19283. I hope it helps - and thanks to those who have already pre-ordered a copy, it was Pen and Sword's 15th biggest seller of the week yesterday, which is quite something for a book that has yet to gain corporeal form!!!

In addition, I note that a second reprint of my book Tracing Your Irish Family History on the Internet (2nd edition) actually happened a few months ago, which was a pleasant surprise to discover last night, so thanks to those who have already bought a copy. It can be obtained via https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Irish-Family-History-on-the-Internet-Paperback/p/16483 at £14.99 plus p&p (the good looking girl in the middle of the front cover is my mum, with her parents on either side, who sadly passed away in 2013, and who would have been 71 today!)

I have also just learned that my most recent book Sharing Your Family History Online is due to be reprinted at the end of July - it can be ordered from https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Sharing-Your-Family-History-Online-Paperback/p/18718

My two Scottish titles are also still available - Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records (https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Scottish-Ancestry-through-Church-and-State-Records-Paperback/p/16848), and Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet (https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Scottish-Family-History-on-the-Internet-Paperback/p/17717).

 

So what's next? Well I have a big commitment this summer that I am currently working on (the British Institute's tract on Ireland in October), and then it's straight into my next book, which is taking me right back to my doorstep back home in Northern Ireland. 

After that, I then have something in the pipeline that I hope will be very helpful for my Scottish friends - more on both projects in due course!
