Irish Pedigrees; or, The Origin and Stem of The Irish Nation (1915 Limited American Edition) Vol. 2 Part 2

Irish Pedigrees - Stem of the Irish nation In his Irish Pedigrees, O'Hart presents the legendary origins of the Irish people, from the Biblical Adam and Eve through the kings of ancient Ireland. Irish tradition holds that every Irish person is descended from the king Milesius who migrated from Spain in 500 BC, so O'Hart started each of his genealogies with Adam recording Milesius as his 36th descendant. To complete his genealogies he used the writings of O'Clery, MacFirbis and O'Farrell, along with the Annals of the Four Masters. He used the works of Burke, Collins, Harris, Lodge and Ware to extend his genealogies to the 17th century. This is the 1915 Limited American Edition reprint of Volume 2 which has been released in two parts. This book includes the second part of Volume 2. (Readers should note that to complete volume 2 you will need to also purchase the first part in print.)
