This book was designed to fill the gap left by the out-of-print work of Father Woulfe named 'Irish Names and Surnames' (1923), and Woulfe's work is quoted frequently in this by MacLysaght. MacLysaght was Chief Genealogical Officer and Keeper of Manuscripts in the National Library of Ireland, making him well qualified to write this book on about 2,500 Irish surnames.
