* Emigrants from Ireland to America, 1735-1743.
(Book - Amazon.com) :
Published in the obscure Journal of the Irish House of
Commons in 1743 as a report of a special committee
appointed to look into abuses of the system of enforced
emigration, these lists of about 2,000 felons and
vagabonds forcibly transported from Ireland between 1735
and 1743 constitute one of the few known sources of Irish
emigration to the New World in the 18th century. Copied
verbatim from the pages of the Journal by Frances
McDonnell, these priceless lists have been brought to
light for the benefit of the long-suffering researcher.
As published here in this handy, indexed volume,
information in the lists generally includes the name of
transportee, county or city from which returns of
transportation orders were obtained, date of assizes
(court), reason for transportation, and occasionally the
name of the ship and place of destination in the colonies.
May also be available from Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom)
and Amazon.ca (Canada).

* British and American Coats of Arms
(Database Online - Genealogy.com) :
Within the indexed images of the pages of seven books,
you'll find crests, coats of arms, mottoes, and lineages
referencing approximately 137,000 individuals. The
information collected here ranges from illustrated
compilations of coats of arms to definitions of terms
used in heraldic research. Among the indexed images,
you'll find a comprehensive guide to all coats of arms
known to have been used in the United States since its
earliest colonial days as well as the best-known reference
work on British heraldry (John Bernard Burke's The
General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales).
Some of the books list lines of descent connecting the
earliest known holder of a coat of arms to a recent
descendent. This detailed connection makes it easier than
ever to determine if your family history should include a
particular coat of arms.
