It tells the story of how the Clans or Septs of Laois (Moores, Kellys, Lawlors, Dowlings, Dorans, McEvoys O'Devoys or Deevys or Dees) were transplanted to County Kerry and discusses the continued presence of their descendants in Kerry through the centuries to the present time. As well as those with an interest in Irish History the book will appeal to genealogists with an interest in Irish Clans.
