This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.

"CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:

• faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected
• over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear

They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.

This wonderful book explains the meanings and origins of Irish first names and surnames. In compiling this authoritative dictionary, Fr. Woulfe spent 25 years in the field (Ireland, England and Scotland) collecting names, communicating with native Irish-speakers, and studying the different forms of Gaelic.

The work begins with an illuminating history of Irish names, followed by the great dictionary--700 pages of Irish names in two arrangements: English-Irish and Irish-English. The English-Irish section contains 3,500 Christian names and surnames, each dealt with as a separate group. The Irish-English section, containing over 7,000 entries, gives the original form of the surname and its precise meaning, then its English equivalent and the former and present location in Ireland. Besides personal names, there is a section on Irish clan names, which are of great importance in tracing the early history of Irish families.

Divided into several sections:

• General information, including a table of Irish letters
• The Irish name system
• Names of men (English-Irish)
• Names of Women (English-Irish)
• Surnames (English-Irish)
• Names of men (Irish-English)
• Names of women (Irish-English)
• Surnames (Irish-English)
• Clan names
