The original text was written by DJ Moloney, who was a local Irishman who lived in the Glendalough area. He sold his work to day tourists who came to visit the monastic ruins. John Hewes is owner of John's Genealogy & Family Books. In addition to selling books, John obtains old texts and recreates them in modern formats. These mostly unknown works can now be enjoyed by researchers as well as casual readers. John previously published LV Shaw's Family Records of St. Edwards Church, Clementsport, Nova Scotia 1783-1936.
