Scope and Content: 'A Historical Pedigree of the Sliochd Feidhlimidh, the MacCarthys of Gleannacroim, from Carthach, Twenty-Fourth in Descent from Oilioll Olum, to this day' chronicles the lineage, heritage and interwoven lines of descent that define the MacCarthy family that was once one of southern Munster's greatest ruling dynasties, being mainly based in County Cork. Daniel MacCarthy, through extensive and exhaustive research conducted in British, Irish and French archives and libraries, and years long correspondence with Irish historians, antiquarians, academics and various MacCarthys scattered throughout County Cork and abroad, wrote 'A Historical Pedigree ...' in order to detail and prove his royal MacCarthy heritage in an academic setting. Daniel's manuscript volumes [PR70/C] and correspondence [PR70/B] detail much of the historical research which informed the book. Daniel gifted numerous copies of the book to his friends and fellow MacCarthys/McCarthys, as can be seen in the many thank-you letters included in the collection.
