Abstract

This article examines the problem of identifying individuals within and between medieval historical sources, especially medieval Irish chronicles and genealogies. A content analysis of these two groups of document provides the basis for a numerical methodology for nominal record linkage. Comparisons and contrasts are made with the methods and techniques open to modern historians, and the characteristic nature of different types of primary source is emphasized
