Howard's presentation on Tuesday provided us with several options for researching Scots Irish (or Irish!) surnames when there are very few vital records to consult. His main point was that the plantations settled by Scots are small in area, and it is possible to narrow a surname to one location.
He suggested one particular book that would be helpful: New Irish Genealogy Records 2011-2020 by Clare Santry is available as an online Ebook.
Howard also demonstrated several map sites and imbedded their links in the presentation. Use the maps to identify homelands. Griffith's Valuation (use the Ask About Ireland website) can also be of use to locate surnames. He also recommended the "failte romhat" website to use Griffith's Valuation.
