o'connor descendants book request
« on: Friday 10 July 15 14:22 BST (UK) »
I was wondering if anyone has a copy or knows where I can get one posted to england as its no longer in print.  I have even asked kevin o'connor who wrote it but still no luck.the book is called The descendants of the O'Connors of Carrigafoyle stemming from the Datheenachs line.

Thank you. But that is a little pricey I feel. Im after it slightly cheaper ideally or a copy I can borrow to read.

Yep indeed you did. How are they asking so much for it tho. I'm guessing i'll have to wait til I visit Ireland again.

It might be worth asking your local library if they can order it for you through interlibrary loan system. With this sort of volume there might be a restriction that it cannot be checked out of the library so you'd have to read/photocopy/photograph (if allowed) there.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Ahh but you can sell it when finished with it so the cost could be minimal, if any!  You might even make a profit!
