Michael Brennan, et al, on the Irish Genealogy books, I have a question.

My eight lines of Irish (counties Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Sligo, Galway,
Donegal) all came over to Bridgeport CT USA between 1830 and 1900. So I'm
thinking maybe those books wouldn't come in too handy for the research I
would like to do in Ireland, roughly 1750-1880.

Are there other books that might deal with information a little farther back
than 1901? Incidentally, you did a search for me on the Griffiths Evaluation
for my Carlow ancestors, with a likely hit. But that's the only info I've
been able to find on them.

(I'm finding it hard to dig anything up on these mid-1800s folks, granted I
think most of them were awfully poor and quite affected by the famines,
hence their flights to America.)
