The earliest records of a military and genealogical nature are contained in the ancient and medieval Annals of Ireland and other Gaelic manuscripts. These as well as later printed source materials provide valuable lists of officers and soldiers in local forces, accounts of military activity including officer personnel, local incidents and names of rebellious persons, the various records often accompanied with biographical and genealogical notes. We will discuss these records, their value, some historical background of these record collections, and their availability. In addition, our course will lead us through to the very important pension records which often documented places of residence, birth, parentage, marriage,
and children.
