For more than 170 years, "Burke's Landed Gentry" has been an invaluable genealogical guide to notable families and their histories throughout the British Isles. "Burke's Irish Family Records" details the descendents of some 500 important Irish families, whether living in Ireland or settled abroad. The book includes a free searchable PDF (on CD-ROM) of the full contents of the book along with comprehensive family records from all current "Burke's Landed Gentry 19th Edition" titles - "The Kingdom in Scotland", "The Ridings of York", "The Principality of Wales" and "The North West". This volume is the fifth edition, a reprint of the 1976 "Edition of Irish Family Records".
