ENNISKILLEN PARISH AND TOWN. By W. H. Dundas. 197 pages. Originally published at Dundalk, Ireland in 1913.

This history was written in a style that genealogists are likely to appreciate, being packed with names, tombstone inscriptions, and even extracts from the parish register, and names from the Hearth Money rolls, clergy, curates, church wardens, the lists of names go on and on. But the history, political and social development of the area is not neglected, going back to a time when only a castle stood on the site along the narrows between Lough Erne and the Upper Erne, a stronghold of the Maguire clan, often attacked by the O'Donnell or O'Neill forces. The strategic location of Enniskillen in central Fermanagh astride the only convenient crossing of the Erne for twenty miles in either direction makes it the center point for strategic movement in the area, and makes for a lively historical narrative.
