During the 1930's and early 1940's the WPA in the United States collected histories of towns and people and some of their work is now available on the internet

For instance, when I put in the word Irish I found 470 hits from their
available collections, photos, film, etc. It is always worth a shot to
see if your family or location is in the Library of Congress collection.
