Padraig... A question please...Would Barrington's Bridge, Murroe and Lisnargy be in The East Limerick area...I know it is not too far from the Tipperary line and wanted to be sure they aren't included in the Tipperary records... I had very good luck locating some of our family in Murroe where the parish priest was very helpful..but then again, our cousin was a good parishioneer!! ;-) Also...any idea which papers might have been around in the 1940's? According to legend my husbands ggrandmother lived to be 103 years of age and I thought perhaps when she died it might have been noted in a paper...We hope to be over later this year and I wanted to check out the libraries or papers to see if I could find exactly where she lived.

Breifne is a journal which relates mainly to county Cavan, but also includes articles on Tyrone, Fermanagh, maybe Leitrim and Monaghan. I have a feeling my first reference here should be the year 1900 and not 1800. I list the article title, the author, the journal and the volume and vol. number - and I've just noticed - no year of publication for some - sorry!!

Limerick: Corrigenda 1984: Vol. XVI, No. 1 There are many others - some in other journals and some as I say carried out by local societies....... a few in Co. Offaly have been transcribed and published by the Offaly Familiy History Society - there will be more references in other places..... but - I think this post has been long enough for now. I think what I really wanted to say/get across when I began this was - please think long and hard about the time you would spend looking for information in any gravyard - and that which any Irish person you would ask to go looking for you will have to spend. It can take a few minutes to stand in front of a decently preserved stone and read it - it can take hours just to find that one stone. We did not bury our dead in nice neat little rows - everything was haphazard. Jane :-)

is that if it can bite, sting, chase you - that's where you will find it. If the weather is just right - conditions perfect, then, there's no way you will be able to read the stones........ not without a lot of elbow grease. Then, you always have to consider that our gravestones are national monuments and as such are protected by law - anyone found 'cleaning' a stone is apt to be fined....... We have graveyards in the middle of nowhere - out in the middle of a field - surrounded by other fields - you'll have to climb over fences to reach some of them, be sure and take your wellies with you - you may have to climb over walls - unceremoniously I may add, as you try to clear the wall before the great big something which looks like a bull, but may really be a cow catches up with you, when you are in no humour to stand around and find out exactly what it is. and then you realise to have to make it back the way you came. You will find graveyards which are completely overgrown - some with an odd bit of a headstone sticking up - you'll find fields of ferns where you just know the graveyard should be. You'll find places such as the older part of Glasnevin graveyard here in Dublin which look like war zones - dry dirt all around, a few stones standing - and there you are with all your instructions from the office and the number of the stone which you are looking for - and the map showing you where it is - and you're standing there looking at blank spaces wondering if someone made a mistake - the stone was actually after all erected a long time ago but another name had been added in the 1950's. You'll stand in front of stones which were erected in the 1950's somewhere else - which speak of family in America and you'll see the stone falling down, the graveyard overgrown with flat monuments which were erected 150-200 years before that 1950 stone and you'll wonder about that family. You'll stand in front of stones listing whole families - who died a few days apart - you'll see grave markers - simple stones and you'll wonder who was buried there - you'll read stones which tell of people who died in the 1700's - you'll see stones and read them and think you've read them correctly and come back in ten years time and realise you were wrong in your reading........... You'll find treasures - you'll stand maybe in front of relations stones and feel very emotional or read their transcriptions taken by others....... You'll look and wonder why can't the Irish do something to keep their graveyards..........you'll notice that protestant graveyards tend to be better maintained than Catholic ones - you'll find restored graveyards........... In one week alone, in one county which measures about 34 X 30 miles, I travelled 1000 miles just finding some graveyards and transcribing them. I didn't even manage to go the length and breadth of that county. I did what I call a first reading in each graveyard - that is to say I went in and read those stones which were immediately legible, did not need to be cleaned in any way - smaller graveyards would take just a few hours - larger graveyards could take all day - and that was just reading those stones which had dates pre 1902 on them and those others close by with the same surnames. The following week I did the same thing, more new graveyards - back to ones I had been to once and began working on those harder to read stones. For each graveyard, I will have to go back and read and clean what I can, then when everything is typed up each graveyard has to be visited again to check what is on paper.........If I leave it too long between visits, the weather will have done it's thing, we have a reasonably decent environment - lichens love gravestones, cleaning would have to be done again in some cases. The first time I ever read stones was in a very decent graveyard, one in which people were still being buried - one which is not affected too much by the environment - I was very careful, wrote everything down, stone by stone. I went back and checked what I had written and typed up - and yet, which I thought I was being so careful and the stones were easy to read - I still had made mistakes. I was a beginner. Now, I use a dictaphone - one hour of transcribing (not including time spent cleaning) will take a minimum of two hours typing up and editing at least. Lots of Irish graveyards have been transcribed - by very dedicated people. There are 7 volumes of Wexford Memorial Transcriptions, 4 of Wicklow all done by Brian Cantwell. He also transcribed some of Clare I think. The smaller graveyards in Dublin have been transcribed - I think there are two - four volumes of Dublin transcriptions, I don't know the authors name. Then there are others which have been transcribed and published in the various journals relating to Irish History and Archaeology - I have some references. Not the page numbers - please don't anyone ask me anything about any of these journals - some may be held by the LDS libraries, some may be held by other libraries around the world and copies of teh articles may be obtainable by inter-library loan. Other graveyard works are published irregularly by local people trying to make some money for some local cause or other - these rarely are heard of outside the local area. In Ireland -= publishers do not recognise that genealogy is actually a business in other countries around the world - if someone carries out a graveyard transcription there is no funding for the work and the person/people have got to pay to have their transcriptions published and then find their buyers........... I am making a second post which will list some references to published works. Jane

There are listings for 3 cemeteries in Donegal (including inscriptions) and other counties at http:www.internet.com:/ireland/donegal.htm. You may find something there you need. Other cemetery sites are also available at yahoo.com. Search for "Ireland Cemeteries". Mary Ellen Moulton [email protected]

Further to Teresa's email, could anyone tell where I could find a list of the Cemetaries around the Belfast area? Is Creggan Church anywhere near Belfast?

Thank you Jane, for your dedication and sharing your terrific story. If only more people could realize that we are losing these wonderful old monuments we could capture more of what is available to us today. When you think of how bad some are now, think what our grandchildren will be (or won't be) looking at in just a few years. Thank you also for sharing your incredible list of published works. Sure to point some in the right direction. Does anyone have any idea where one might get some of these "fundraiser" works? Interested in County Cork........Dungourney, Stumphill, Midleton, Cloyne, Cork City areas. Again, thank you Jane, for your kindness from those of us who can't be there to help. Sherri Delaney

I am interested in the query from Deborah Scott and wonder if the usual postings on this list are after very smallneedles in extra large haystacks? Am beginning to think that the county D lists may be a more appropriate place to enquire. Any ideas and comments anyone? Eleanor

IRELAND-CEMETERIES. A mailing list for anyone searching for their ancestors in cemeteries in Ireland or interested in preserving historical information about these cemeteries (including locating graves, decedents within the graves, cemeteries which have been indexed on the internet and in other written forms, and care of tombstones and the inscriptions thereon) and sharing information about them. Please post your query or any information you might have on any given cemetery or individual/s within a cemetery, to the list. The data so submitted will be stored in the lists' archives for any one to browse. In this way, the lists archives will slowly but surely become a valuable resource for current and future researchers. If you can assist people that are looking for information on any given cemetery or individual/s asked about on the list, please do so--your help will be very much appreciated. All queries and responses should be made to the list--other people may be looking for similar information, but haven't asked the question yet. Please note that anyone/everyone on the list is capable of submitting information or helping others to find information. There is no guarante you will receive an answer to your query--there are no paid researchers associated with the list. Everyone here is a "volunteer", if you choose to be and have access to the appropriate data. There is not currently a centralized data base of information associated with this list, except what might be available in the lists' archives. Perhaps, sometime in the future, a website might be established for this purpose. Messages sent to this mailing list must address these specific topics. This is not a surname research list, except in the context associated with cemeteries as outlined above. ====================================================== -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [IRL~CEMS] responses Resent-Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 10:19:59 -0800 Resent-From: [email protected] Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 13:21:20 -0500 From: "Don Wixted" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi I agree .

I have not seen any responses either. I'm beginning to wonder who reads this list. Seems like we need more folks from Ireland who can check for us. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Padraig O Gealagain" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 12:25 PM Subject: Re: [IRL~CEMS] > Responses OUGHT to be posted to the List, so that all might benefit from the > replies - Perhaps since you joined no one has any answers to the 16 queries > you read. > > Regards, > > Padraig+ > > > P.S.

Responses OUGHT to be posted to the List, so that all might benefit from the replies - Perhaps since you joined no one has any answers to the 16 queries you read. Regards, Padraig+ P.S. My Interest is East Limerick Graveyards ( including City cemeteries )of which I have a large collection. -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Scott <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 8:55 AM Subject: [IRL~CEMS] >Hello Listers, > >I've been a subscriber for about a week and have received ~ 16 queries. >Oddly, I haven't seen any responses posted.

Hello Listers, I've been a subscriber for about a week and have received ~ 16 queries. Oddly, I haven't seen any responses posted. Do members respond to the individual only or are responses sent to all so that we can all benefit? Perhaps no one has yet responded to these queries. Could someone please let me know? I am asking because I am also a subscriber to a Welsh mailing list and I receive responses to all queries. These responses sometimes help point me in the right direction. Thanks to all. Regards, Deborah Scott Montreal

Dear Listers, I am trying to locate the cemetery and grave of JOHN CLARKE McBRIDE and his family. He died sometime after Oct 1967, and his address up untill 1967 was at 69 Bushy Park Road Dublin. He was born at Portavo CO Down Northern Ireland in 1879. He may have been either buried in Dublin near where he lived, or was taken back and buried in Northern Ireland. I would be very grateful if SKS can help me locate them. Jocelyn Graham

I'm looking for any site that may have info on Kilbegly Cemetary near Ballinasloe in Co. Roscommon. Several of my Murray Family members are buried there. Helen Forbeck [email protected]
