INDEX OF SIRNAMES
LETTERS AND OPINIONS
* Settlers: In the former Editions of this Work the new
settlers in
Ireland, after its invasion by the English in the twelfth century, were
entered as "Anglo-Norman," or "English" Families. But we have found
that many families whose names were so entered, are of Irish descent.
It is, therefore, in our opinion, more correct to enter them as "New
Settlers," than as Anglo-Norman or English.
