Final volume due of family history tome

WANT to know where your family name came from? Look no further.

The 29th and final volume in the Irish Families Project is ready for distribution almost 30 years after historian Mike O’Laughlin wrote the first installment in Kansas City, America.

“It really started as a hobby. I had never been back to Ireland and I wasn’t sure where the O’Laughlin, or O’Loughlin, name came from so I looked up an O’Loughlin’s castle on the map and that started it. When I went over to Ireland I picked out some O’Loughlins at random and arrived at their door. I have been staying with them ever since when I have been over to do research.”
