Surnames found in Irish Records beginning with the letter J
This list can by no means be considered comprehensive. Those surnames with an asterisk are listed in 'The Surnames of Ireland' Edward MacLysaght, sixth edition (1997), published by the Irish Academic Press, ISBN 0-7165-2364-7. I have not used this book in the creation of this list, however consulting this book will give you some idea of where the surname or it's variations may possibly be found in Ireland.
This list will be added to, and it is intended to indicate which Irish counties these surnames have been recorded in on this website.
