The aim of this series is to provide information on ordinary people throughout 17th-century Ireland--with the exception of people of Scottish origin who have been dealt with in Dr. Dobson's "Scots-Irish Links, 1575-1725" series. Thus, the people listed here are predominantly of native Irish and immigrant English origin, as well as a handful of Huguenot and Dutch immigrants. For Part Three, Dr. Dobson provides sketches of about 1,600 additional inhabitants of Ireland, bringing the grand total so far uncovered in the series to just under 5,000.
