Fermanagh's culture, heritage, characters and stories set it apart from the rest of the world. Every mountain, tree, lake, stream, rock, stone and character tells a tale. There are the strange stories of mythical creatures, such as the Shining Folk that lurk under the surface of Lough Erne, and the fairies that taught the unruly wee Meg Barnileg a lesson. There are spooky tales of the Cooneen poltergeist that haunted the Murphy family and the ghost of Belleek Pottery. And there are the 'pants', or tall tales, that the locals love to retell, such as the stories about 'educated' Irish pigs who understood three languages, talking horses or the pike who went 'fishing' for squirrels. All these stories and more are featured in this unique collection which will take you deep into the heart of this historic county.
A research guide for Fermanagh and Louth, from the archives of the Irish Genealogical Foundation, with family history notes on specific families, and help for researchers with real life examples and actual records. Well indexed.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
This extensive work begins with the Ulster Plantation in Fermanagh and deals with all the major historical events over the centuries as experienced in the county. It deals particularly with the recent conflict as endured in Fermanagh and details all of the deaths (114) that occurred there. It examines how the Irish Government cooperated with the British Government on Border security, using official declassified British Government documents and explores the validity or otherwise of claims of ethnic cleansing.
