Tracing Your Northern Irish Ancestors - A Guide for Family Historians

Ian Maxwell

Sinopsis

The second edition of Tracing Your Northern Irish Ancestors is an expert introduction for the family historian to the wealth of material available to researchers in archives throughout Northern Ireland. Many records, like the early twentieth-century census returns and school registers, will be familiar to researchers, but others are often overlooked by all but the most experienced of genealogists. An easy-to-use, informative guide to the comprehensive collections available at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland is a key feature of Ian Maxwells handbook. He also takes the reader through the records held in many libraries, museums and heritage centres across the province, and he provides detailed coverage of records that are available online. Unlike the rest of the British Isles, which has very extensive civil and census records, Irish ancestral research is hampered by the destruction of many of the major collections. Yet Ian Maxwell shows how family historians can make good use of church records, school registers and land and valuation records to trace their roots to the beginning of the nineteenth century and beyond.

On Dreams

Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams” has been described as one of the most important books of the 20th century. As a result of the perception, however, that it is a lengthy and complex work, Freud embarked on the task of compiling a more brief and simplified version of his ideas on the interpretation of dreams. The results of this labour are presented in "On Dreams".From the time of its appearance, a large and loyal audience of scholars, experts and curious readers have relied on this work for a trusted and systematic exposition of Freud's theory of dreams.Freud first introduces his theory of the unconscious in terms of dream interpretation, and then portrays dreams as wish-fulfilment – creations of of the subconscious that serve to digest events or feelings, past or recent, that are buried and unresolved. Professionals, students and laymen alike will enjoy this simple and authoritative version of an always-relevant theory of dream interpretation by one of the key early progenitors of modern psychoanalysis.
