Researching Leslies in Ireland is my passion. I devote many hours per week to this project and hope to have a book ready to publish by the end of the year. I have drafted the chapters on why Leslies left Scotland to go to Ireland. Currently, I am concerned with documenting who they were and where. Next, is the more difficult part, that is what contributions were made in Irish history and to their community.
