Directions to same are given. >> Jean, I believe you are referring to "A Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards" (unless he has written another book I don't know about). Unfortunately, Mitchell seems to use the three terms synonymously throughout the book's introduction. Even the Key to the entries states: "In the graveyard column are identified all graveyards, burial grounds or cemeteries. If the graveyard symbol is on the same line as the church symbol then the graveyard is attached to that church." So it appears that he doesn't differentiate, either. Incidentally, I have found several "graveyards" missing from his book, so it's not perfect <gr>. But it's certainly a great book to have - I use it daily. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
