WADE'S INDEX - Donnellan/Donilan/Donelan
Virginia W McAnlis's published Consolidated Index to the Records of the Genealogical Office (4 volumes, Issaquah, Washington, 1994-97) [ also known as Wade's Index] is particularly useful for identifying records relating to particular families. On my most recent trip to Ireland, I copied the DV references in this publication and present them hereunder. Some of these appear to merely confirm what is already known. Others, however, are worthy of further investigation [marked with an *].
