This issue has a wide geographical spread, with in-depth articles on finding ancestors in County Clare, records of Irish-Australian policemen, church registers in the USA, collections of records on the Irish in Latin America, and even a feature about German connections in Oldcastle, Co Meath.
There's also a specialised article by Sean Murphy on Irish Surnames and the use (or omission) of O' and Mac prefixes, ten helpful tips for breaking down brickwalls from Chris Paton, the story of Jim O'Callaghan's research into Jackie Kennedy's genealogy, and a considered view of rumoured data protection and freedom of information restrictions from Steven Smyrl.
In addition to lots of news from family history societies, there's my own What's New Review, listings of major upcoming events, letters, answers to readers' questions from Nicola Morris and a trailer for October's Back To Our Past show in Dublin.
