I don't know how many researchers are trying to trace their Irish roots back to Ireland, but after going through the 1870 census of Luzerne County, I am sure I'm not the only one trying to do so. I found an article by Joe Shoulak published in the San Francisco Chronicle part of which might be of interest. The article gives the names of the counties of Ireland and the surnames that originated in them. Many of you may have this information. For those who don't, I will try to send a county or two with the names every so often.
