As many of you know, I am willing to do surname lookups in Bill McGrew's book, "Tombstones of the Omey". It is a compilation of the tombstone listings for 15 graveyards transcribed within a five mile radius of Omagh, Co Tyrone (1688-1900). The book is published by the Omagh Chapter of the NIFHS (North of Ireland Family History Society). I am an associate member of the society. During my recent trip I was privileged to attend 3 branch meetings, as I am an Associate Member. I volunteer to look up SURNAMES ONLY in this important contribution to Ulster genealogy. If you wish to know if there is a listing for a surname you are researching please title the Subject line as follows: Subject: Lookup - "Omey" - SURNAME(s)> (you wish to have searched, alphabetized and in CAPTIALS please) Do NOT ask me for additional information as I ethically think that if one wishes more information each of us should be purchasing the book. This will help to support the on-going work of the NIFHS to add to the body of research in Northern Ireland. I am grateful there is such a voluntary non-profit organization which depends upon the support of those who are interested in Ulster genealogy. I will ignore replying to requests for additional information. I am always saddened when a few people "spoil" the efforts of time and energy for volunteer requests. Now to the meat of the information! The book is available through the NIFHS,North of Ireland Family History Society, website http://www.mni.co.uk/nifhs The cost in U.S. funds is approximately $18.50 which includes the postage. The book is not indexed as to surnames. I have to search through all 15 graveyard listings to find surnames. This is its only short-coming. I am helping the NIFHS index the book and hopefully the index will be available in the future and will be included in the next printing of the book. The book is selling well and apparently there will be a need for a reprint soon, which hopefully will include the index I am working on. The book is wonderfully organized in alphabetical order by graveyard, listing tombstones bearing inscriptions, many with multiple names inscribed. In addition there are memorial stones included, as I discovered when researching my family surname. I had thought that the listing in the book meant that my possible g-g-g-g-g-grandparents were buried in Cappagh Cemetery. However, after searching through all of the Record Books for Cappagh Church I discovered that there is no listing for their burial. Apparently, they are buried in another place, perhaps Dunmullan Cemetery which was the "Old" Cappagh Cemetery. Each graveyard is listed with locations by Ordnance Survey sheets and designations. The book includes both Protestant and Roman Catholic listings along with a brief explanation and history of each church. There is either a black and white photo or drawing of the cemetery and/or church. I had hoped to photograph all of the 15 graveyards on my last trip to Omagh, but only accomplished photographing 4 of them. I am willing to send jpeg format photos via the Internet of Cappagh, Dunmullan, Edenderry, and St. Mary's RC of Killyclogher. Please send your request to me directly and not to the list.
