This is the new third edition (2003), which includes select family histories. For the first time ever, the index for the first 28 volumes in the Irish Families set is also included. The famous and large families like Murphy, Kelly, Sullivan, O'Brien, Ryan, Kennedy, Walsh, Daugherty and Donahue are of course in this book, as are thousands more, including rarely found families that settled in Ireland from England, Scotland, Wales, and the continent. Among the hundreds of settler names are those of Betagh; Coppinger; Trench; Coplan; Hall; Green; Hunter; McKenzie; Baker; Howell; Bellew and many more.

Families from England
Many English families have settled in Ireland from the 12th century onwards. Often, the native Irish were forced to "translate" their names into English sounding ones. The 50 most numerous names from England in 1853 are given, along with hundreds of family history extracts on specific families like Smith; Jones; Williams and Taylor.

Families from Scotland
Due to the proximity of the north of Ireland and the south of Scotland, migration between the two countries has been constant. A great settlement of Scottish families took place in the 17th century during the plantation of Ulster by the British Crown. Later, some of these 'planter' families came to America, becoming known as the Scotch Irish or Scots Irish. The 50 most numerous names of Scotland are given, along with hundreds of family histories, including families like McDonald; Brown; Thomson and Robertson.

Families from the German Palatinate

Families came to Ireland in the 18th century from the Palatinate of the Rhine. In 1709 some 7,000 arrived in England and many settled in Co. Limerick, Ireland and America. Some of these are families like Bowen, Baker; Delmege and Pyper.

Danish or Viking Families

The Danes (Lochlainders, Ostmen or Vikings), had colonies in Ireland for centuries. Centered in Dublin and Meath (in Fingall), and in Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Limerick, settling primarily in the coastal counties of Ireland from the 8th century on. These Viking families include: Betagh; Coppinger; Palmer; Plunket and Skiddy, among many others given in this work.

Jewish Families in Ireland

Many Russian and Polish Jews settled on the south side of Dublin city from the late 1800's. These included the families of Coplan, Fridberg, Greenberg, Weiner, Maisell and many others given in this work.

Welsh Families in Ireland

Families by the name of "Walsh" (in Irish, Brannagh or Breathnach), meaning a Briton or Welshman, are found early in Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Killarney, Tipperary, Wexford, Waterford and Galway. Some of these families were: Howell, Lawless, Lillis, Lynagh and Rossiter. Many are included in this work

Anglo Norman Families in Ireland

The Anglo Norman invasions of the 12th century brought many new families to Ireland. Some took on Irish names. Anglo Norman families in Ireland include: Barry; Bellew; Bermingham; Burke; Carew and Clare, among hundreds of others given in this book along with family history notes.

Huguenot Families in Ireland

French and Fleming Huguenot families settled in the 17th century in Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford, Cork, and Lisburn, etc... They were noted for making linen, cloth and lace. Some of these families were those of Barre; Perrin; Hazard; Hassard; Lefanu; Trench and many others as given in this work.

'Irish Families' Contains many family names left out of other popular works, including those of Edward MacLysaght, Patrick Woulfe and John O'Hart. The best single book for finding any Irish family surname, there are more names, arms, and locations here than in any other book . Truly a 'must have' resource for finding numerous and scarce names in Ireland.Format of this Book

Entries on family names are arranged in the following order:

(1) When available, the coat of arms linked to the name appears above the name which is in bold type. All arms shown in this volume were actually used by families in Ireland, acknowledged by recognized authorities.

(2) Beneath the name is the source from which the arms are taken.

(3) Occasionally we list a Gaelic or more ancient form of the name on the next line in regular type. (note we have not punctuated these). We suggest those interested in the gaelic consult Irish Names and Surnames by the Rev. P. Woulfe. The IGF edition of that work contains a new surname index, which proves most helpful to researchers.

(4) The next line, in italics, gives variant spellings of the name as available.

(5) The history associated with the name

The amount of information found will vary with each name. Please consult all possible spellings of the name. More information may appear in other volumes to this Irish Families set. Names not covered here will appear in other volumes of our Irish Families, great & small series. The surname index to this first volume , (and to volumes 2 through 28), is found in part III of this book. The researcher should consult that index as well as the location index found in part II of this book.

The location index (see part II) represents extracts taken from larger, more detailed listings found in the Master Book of Irish Surnames. Space limitations do not allow reprinting all the index listings found in that book. In fact, there are over 50,000 listings from that book which we did not have room for at all! We have included as many surnames as possible to give hope to Irish family researchers. These listings may prove particularly helpful for those with less common names. The student of Irish family names would do well to consult that work independently.

Total Waste Of Money.......2007-09-08

This book is a huge disappointment. All it lists is surnames and if any a short sentence about the name. For instance Moylan: an old irish family.

Totally a huge waste of money.

Irish Family names.......2007-08-01

A great book giving information on Irish Family names and regions they are found in. A very useful book for those doing Irish family research.

Disappointed.......2007-01-14

This book covers a huge range of Irish names, however only provides minimal information on each and coat of arms for the select few. It provided the same information that is easily found on the web.

Be sure you get the third edition.......2005-04-29

The third edition of this work is definitely the best. It contains the index to the entire 28 volumes in the series, which covers every county in Ireland. The second edition was published earlier, and does not contain the complete index to the series. The third edition has all the family history information from the second edition, PLUS the complete series info. This book contains the largest collection of Irish Family Names, locations and arms ever put to print.

Helped me pass the exam.......2004-01-12

Just passed my exam today with a 93%. I used this book as my primary study material and supplimented it with other practice exams I found on the internet.

I probably did more studying than most, but I read the book cover to cover and did all the practice exams. I found they went into more detail than was necessary for the network portion of the exam. However, don't let that mislead you, because you are tested on a LOT of networking and TCP/IP concepts. It's just that they went into more detail than necessary, (however, it's nice to know, especially if you're not as familiar with networking as with the web aspects of the test). But again, if you don't know the networking aspect, you will *not* pass this test.

I think that this book could (and should) have covered more on encryption and line speeds. I had to go outside the book because they didn't go in to enough detail there.

I will also second the motion that there are errors in the book; however if you read the chapters carefully, you'll pick up the errors fairly easily.

In all, I'd recommend this book. I would not have passed the test without it. Good luck!

Excellent source for passing CIW-F........2002-09-11

This book did the job, and I passed the first time with a 92%. After reading the book, I went back and focused on the chapter highlights and the chapter exams. Whenever I found myself guessing, I went back and re-read the section in question. By the time I got to the real exam, the exam questions seemed obvious.

Also, I didn't encounter much on the exam that wasn't in the book, with one exception- It may be helpful to know binary math to understand the IP Addressing section more easily, and the book doesn't cover this much.

I didn't find NUMEROUS mistakes as others have, but I did see one or two- usually editorial mistakes, though, and easy to spot.

This book was not my only source, though. For information on the TCP/IP stack and the OSI/RM (knowing these subjects in DETAIL is absolutely VITAL!) I used a CD-ROM from learntcpip.com. It only cost about ... but it helped alot.

Overall, I will recommend this book to anyone planning to take the Foundations exam.

Does the job depite shortcomings.......2002-07-18

If you are already comfortable with the material presented and are able to weed out the many mistakes and typos in the book, then you will certainly be able to pass the exam. I have never seen a book with so many mistakes in it. It makes me leary of buying any other books from Hungry Minds.

A Lot Of Errors.......2002-06-12

Good book that covers all aspects. However, be cautious because there A LOT of errors in this book.

Highly comprehensive for a broad subject.......2002-05-20

I passed the test using only this book as a written resource. The book does a good job covering a very broad subject area. There were only 2-3 questions on the exam that were not covered in the text.

The only problem with the book were a few superficial typographical errors in the assement and pre-chapter question pages.

The CD-ROM contains well written and comprehensive testing software by Boson. It allows you to review missed questions, target individual chapters, save test score results and a neat flash card utility.

Customer Reviews:

Still Useful and got me going........2006-04-01

If you are doing #ID0-510 CIW Foundations or #IK0-002 i-NET+ then get a cheap copy of this book and you have 75% at least of the 510 exam and 100% of the other. I used this book only to pass the 4 hour CIW-A (Beta) Exam #ID0-510. Also if you are doing Server+ and Security+ then buy cheap copies of the other three books in the series, Sever Administrator, Internet Professional and Security Professional for the (at the time of review) current exams #ID0-450, #ID0-460 and #ID0-470 and add Master CIW Server Administrator to your CV. Each compliment some part of CompTIA's Exams. Also worth mentioning is Convergence Technology Professional #TT0-101 from the same testing organisation as this book hails which crosses nicely with Internet Professional and the forthcoming Convergence+ Exam (in cheap Beta) from CompTIA. I used all of these to get a good grounding for MCSA/MCSE, CCNA and CCDA. A lot of reading sure but many of the subjects and threads crossed each other again and again and each exam got easier and easier. After all just how many OSI models can there be? All this from one cheap book!

Outdated 1DO-410 was retired, and replaced with IDO-510.......2005-04-18

As far as I can there no CIW books that are much newer than 3 years old. Also, there are no books for the IDO-510. My guess is that after internet bubble burst, the demand for CIWs burst along with it.

Enough to pass the exam.......2004-07-13

I PASSED THE EXAM USING THIS BOOK! The exam is really not that hard, it only covered 40% what I had study for. I would spend more time on FQDN, network equip, network layers, IP address and classes.

Best for the exam.......2003-12-01

This book was the most helpful of all the exam guides I tried. Even though I had taken the CIW Foundations course and had a textbook from that class, I was still having trouble grasping the wide variety of information this exam covers. This study guide most closely resembled the information and structure of my Foundations textbook but with some better explanations and more test questions to quiz myself.
After getting though this book, and taking a few sample exams online, I passed with a 100%.

Good book for the test.......2003-01-26

I found this to be a good book to work with for the CIW Foundations exam. I used this book and the dummies book on the same subject. I purchased this book based on a friend's recommendation of Sybex and my using their book for my Network + exam last year.

This book filled out the information I had read in the dummies book in a well written, understandable format. The sample tests on the CD are mostly the questions from the book, but like all sybex titles I have seen, the 2 CD only tests were a good challenge to see exactly how much I really did understand.

Book Description

The Scientific Revolution and the Foundations of Modern Science explains how the pursuit of natural philosophy-- as science was then called--from about 1500 to 1700 created the foundation upon which modern science has been built. The profound changes in the study of the natural world in this period was made possible by social and cultural changes occurring Western Europe, and the achievements of men like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Frances Bacon, Rene Descartes, William Harvey, and Isaac Newton. This book details their ideas and practices, as well as those of others, the concepts they overcame, and the nature of the institutions within which they worked. Designed as an introduction to the age of the scientific revolution, this book offers readers and researachers an appealing mix of narrative chapters, biographical sketches of key figures, and annotated primary documents. An overview of the period introduces the topic, and is followed by chapters on Astronomy and the Cosmos; Matter, Motion and the Cosmos; The Nature of Living Things; New Methods for the Advancement of Knowledge; Religion and Natural Philosophy; and the Influence of the Scientific Revolution. A glossary of terms is offered, and the work concludes with an annotated bibliography and index.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointment.......2006-06-04

This is an eccentric, shallow and incomplete review of the period suggested in the title. It consists of brief summaries of scientific advances, selected brief biographies and a smattering of primary documents. The chronology of events covered stops at 1713. Thus it hardly covers the time span 1500-1900 suggested by the series title. Too disjointed to function as an enjoyable leisurely read, nor comprehensive enough to function as a reference work. Not worth the money.

Reviewing connections between science and philosophy from 1500 to 1700.......2005-07-06

Joining others in Greenwood's Guides to Historic Events, 1500-1900' , THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN SCIENCE is a recommended pick for both high school and college-level library holdings, reviewing connections between science and philosophy from 1500 to 1700, a period which created the foundations for the modern science we know today. Chapters survey changing scientific ideas, key individuals who fostered these changes, and changing methods for knowledge's advancement.

Must read for any Baan library........2001-01-19

I have had the pleasure of assisting the implementations of Baan products at several companies in he United States. My background with Baan starts with a very old version 2.0. startup at a Mining and Manufacturing company, to a recent ERP install. All the versions in between. This user manual takes a solid walk through the basics, through tools, and implementation guidance. I recommend this Baan bible for anyone having responsibility to install, parallel, and migrate to ERP Solutions in their business.
