    3. Hi, Bill! Long time reader of the Beara List and can now, hopefully, give you some information that might be of help to you. Re: the Kilmakillogue Cemetery. There is a wonderful document entitled "Graveyard Survey of Kilmakillogue Graveyard" written by Bernard O'Mahony MA at the request of Mr. Michael Connolly, Chief Archaelogist, Co. Kerry. It was published on 27 October 2010. It gives a good rundown of both the cemetery itself and many of the gravestones within its walls. Really fascinating reading. That's where my 3rd great-grandparents are buried. I have visited the cemetery many times on my trips to the Beara. You can access this document in the following way: Go to: <<www.tuosist.com>> Click on "History" Scroll down to KILMAKILLOGUE GRAVES SURVEY, the click on "READ MORE" Click on the photo to download the pdf file. Happy reading! I hope that there will be some pertinent information in that document. At least it will give you a feeling for the graveyard! Please publish any other information you get on the Kilmakillogue Graveyard, if you would. I'd be very interested in any and all information. Marie C.
