Books from the Clan

Works by O’Dubhdas and our researchers. Click any cover to buy direct from the publisher or seller — the Clan does not sell or profit from these listings.

This page is a small reading list, not a shop. Each title below was written or edited by someone in our wider O’Dubhda circle, and each link points to where you can buy the book direct from the publisher or seller. Clicking through takes you off odubhda.org — the Clan does not handle the order or take a commission.

The O’Dowda of Castleconor

Gertrude O’Reilly

Hardcover · 180 pages · 2013 · ISBN 9781300955009

A historical-fiction account of David Dubhda, King of Ireland, tracing “the line and the name” from the Uí Fiachrach roots of western Ireland through the generations until the family name was anglicised to O’Dowda in the sixteenth century. Written by Gertrude O’Reilly, mother of Conor Mac Hale, whose own work on the clan is cited extensively across this site.

A NOTE FROM THE CLAN

We collect these books for the same reason we collect inscriptions, maps and field photographs: each one is a small piece of how the clan has carried itself. If a title here was a gift from your shelf, or your own work, please tell us — we want it on the record.
