US release of my latest book, Researching Ancestral Crisis in Ireland

My latest book, Researching Ancestral Crisis in Ireland, was released by Pen and Sword Books in the UK a couple of months ago, but the US has now also made it available from its Pen and Sword distribution base in Pennsylvania. To order a copy in the US, please visit https://www.penandswordbooks.com/9781036110376/researching-ancestral-crisis-in-ireland/ - the book costs US $28.95 for a paperback copy, or US $14.99 for a digital download (various formats).

The following is a great review that has recently been added to Amazon:

"A wonderful resource for Irish genealogy and history research. This is a great resource for learning research basics for Ireland and understanding the laws and different time periods better to get to the records/sources. This slim 160+ page book is a great starting place for Irish family history research as it is not as intimidating as say "Tracing Your Irish Ancestors" by John Grenham with its 600+ pages, but is concisely organized to help its readers get a good working knowledge of the lay of the land at several key historic time periods, the laws and general life events/situations. There are a variety of case studies throughout the volume that can be insightful."

And from Who Do You Think You Are? magazine (July 2025):

"Even if your forebears don't fall into this category, the book is worth reading to understand how those who governed the island of Ireland treated the vulnerable, poor and marginalised over several centuries." 

I hope it helps!
