Terry Quirke has recently published Quirke Genealogy and Family History, a hardbound book of more than 600 pages, including illustrations and complete documentation. He summarizes the scope of the book as follows:

This started out to be a Quirke book but has ended up being an Irish book. It exemplifies the Irish diaspora of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From an Irish foot soldier in a British regiment of the early 1800s he, his children and their descendants became significant persons living in the major English speaking countries of the world: Ireland, India, New Zealand, England, Australia, South Africa, and the United States. The significant surnames in Ireland are Boland and Hogan; in India Quirke; in New Zealand Gallagher and Pearson; in England Quirke; in Australia O’Sullivan, Hore and Buckby; in South Africa Quirke and Biggs; and in the United States Quirke and Washburn.
