Law libraries in Ireland and the United States have copies of law books relating to Ireland. These works often give rich genealogical details about the affairs of families whose court case set a law precedent that distinguished a point of law at that time. Using these works to identify names, relationships, and dates of events can add rich genealogical information to your family tree. | |||

Conducting Irish genealogical research in a law library is generally for those with intermediate to advanced skills. However, anyone can search the Nominate Reports for names or families of interest in a specific area. In some instances there may be a family story indicating that there was a legal dispute over property in Ireland. While not all cases were recorded in the reports, those that set a precedent were summarized and published year-by-year. | Conducting Irish genealogical research in a law library is generally for those with intermediate to advanced skills.
