Index of Irish boys names
« on: Tuesday 11 February 20 10:47 GMT (UK) »
Ireland Reaching Out has just published an index of Irish boys names & anglicised equivalents
https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/news/irelandxo-insight-old-irish-boys-names-aliases
We have created an index of the most common names of native, Old Irish origin that were still popular first names for boys in 19th-century Ireland. This index is particularly useful for breaking down brick walls where an individual does not appear on record as expected
