Has anyone access to Catholic cemetaries in/around Cootehill in Drumdoon Parish in County Cavan? I am researching the names Cosgrove (Catherine b. 9-28-1880...her parents were John and (Catherine?) Boyle. I've been told that one of the Cosgrove daughters was at nun at St. Claire's, if that helps. Thanks so much. Kathryne Durant

Hello all Irelanders, I am new to the list and have a questions regarding locating family in cemetaries in Kerry. In 1995, I found my greatgrandfather's first wife MARY MADDEN PATT and her son, MARTIN in a cemetary - Lislaughtin Abbey - in Ballylongford. There was no sign of MARTIN PATT (the husband) himself (d.1927) or his second wife CATHERINE COX (d. 1919), or several of their children who died in childhood. All siblings of my grandfather (children of C. Cox), who lived to adulthood, emigrated to the USA. Any clues of where to look or were tombstones not always erected? My aunt swears that my grandfather put up a stone when he visited Ireland in the 60's. I have been in contact with the cemetary's caretaker and he has found nothing either. Where are the records kept? Lislaughtin Abbey is a ruin. Any help greatly appreciated.

Celebrate! Holidays In The U.S.A. Memorial Day (Last Monday in May) It was 1866 and the United States was recovering from the long and bloody Civil War between the North and the South. Surviving soldiers came home, some with missing limbs, and all with stories to tell. Henry Welles, a drugstore owner in Waterloo, New York, heard the stories and had an idea. He suggested that all the shops in town close for one day to honor the soldiers who were killed in the Civil War and were buried in the Waterloo cemetery. On the morning of May 5, the townspeople placed flowers, wreaths and crosses on the graves of the Northern soldiers in the cemetery. At about the same time, Retired Major General Jonathan A. Logan planned another ceremony, this time for the soldiers who survived the war. He led the veterans through town to the cemetery to decorate their comrades' graves with flags. It was not a happy celebration, but a memorial. The townspeople called it Decoration Day. In Retired Major General Logan's proclamation of Memorial Day, he declared: "The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country and during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit." The two ceremonies were joined in 1868, and northern states commemorated the day on May 30. The southern states commemorated their war dead on different days. Children read poems and sang civil war songs and veterans came to school wearing their medals and uniforms to tell students about the Civil War. Then the veterans marched through their home towns followed by the townspeople to the cemetery. They decorated graves and took photographs of soldiers next to American flags. Rifles were shot in the air as a salute to the northern soldiers who had given their lives to keep the United States together. In 1882, the name was changed to Memorial Day and soldiers who had died in previous wars were honored as well. In the northern United States, it was designated a public holiday. In 1971, along with other holidays, President Richard Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday on the last Monday in May. Cities all around the United States hold their own ceremonies on the last Monday in May* to pay respect to the men and women who have died in wars or in the service of their country. Memorial Day is not limited to honor only those Americans from the armed forces. It is also a day for personal remembrance. Families and individuals honor the memories of their loved ones who have died. Church services, visits to the cemetery, flowers on graves or even silent tribute mark the day with dignity and solemnity. It is a day of reflection. However, to many Americans the day also signals the beginning of summer with a three-day weekend to spend at the beach, in the mountains or at home relaxing. In Waterloo, New York, the origin has not been lost and in fact the meaning has become even more special. President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed Waterloo the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1966, 100 years after the first commemoration. Every May 30, townspeople still walk to the cemeteries and hold memorial services. They decorate the graves with flags and flowers. Then they walk back to the park in the middle of town. In the middle of the park, near a monument dedicated to soldiers, sailors and marines, the Gettysburg address is read, followed by Retired Major General Logan's Order # 11 designating Decoration Day. The village choirs sing patriotic songs. In the evening, school children take part in a parade. Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia is the nation's largest national cemetery. Not only are members of the armed forces buried here; astronauts, explorers and other distinguished Americans have all been honored with a special place here. President John F. Kennedy is buried in a spot overlooking Washington, D.C.. Here in the early hours of the Friday morning before Memorial Day, soldiers of the Third U.S. infantry walk along the rows of headstones. Each soldier stops at a headstone, reaches to a bundle of flags he is carrying, pulls one out and pushes it into the ground. These soldiers are part of a special regiment. the Old Guard. Most consider it a privilege to place flags on the more than two hundred thousand graves of soldiers who served in the wars or who died in them. "They have done their job," said one soldier, "and now it's my turn to do mine." It is an equal honor to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier all year. There are actually four soldiers buried in this spot: the unknown soldiers of the two World Wars, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam War. Each soldier represents all of those who gave their lives in the modern wars. Soldiers from the Army's Third Infantry guard the tomb twenty-four hours a day. Wreath-laying ceremonies take place all through the year and people from all over the world come to watch the changing of the guard. On another hill of Arlington Cemetery there is a mass grave of unidentified soldiers from the Civil War. On Memorial Day, the President or Vice President of the United States gives a speech and lays a wreath on the tombs. Members of the armed forces shoot a rifle salute in the air. Veterans and families come to lay their own wreaths and say prayers. There is a chance that one of the soldiers buried here is a father, son, brother or friend. *Some southern states continue to celebrate Memorial Day on various days, i.e. June 3rd in Louisiona and Tennessee called "Confederate Memorial Day" and on May 10th in North and South Carolina.

I am seeking information on the cemetery of St Patrick's Catholic Church in Kilkenny. I am trying to locate the graves of my great grandparents. Daniel O'Reilly and Mary O'Reilly [ nee Brophy]. The dates of their childrens Baptisms at St Patrick's were 1860 1862 1864. The childrens names were Johanna Patrick and Mary. So going by these dates the deaths of Daniel and Mary O'Reilly would have possibly been in the 1890's. If anyone can give me any information on these graves and any other descendents who may be within the graves it would be very much appreciated. Thank you Angela

Can anyone tell me the names of the cemeteries in Co. Clare, near Milltown Malbay? Or is there anyone who lives near there? I'm in desperate need of information. Thanks, Marcia

Esther married George Osborne about 1875/80 . George died relatively young It was understood that George was buried in Armagh at the local church cemetery. Esther remarried Norman ?(not sure of the name) from Armagh. Esther it is understood, was burried in the local cemetry at Armagh. They had one child? Grace Osbourne born 18 Oct 1878. She married David William Cressey (1873/4) probably at Hull, East Yorkshire, England late 1890's. They did produce six children. There are some records on the 1881 census showing a George Osborne with a daughter born in Ireland during this time period. But the jigsaw does not quite fit into place yet.

> We are trying to trace his birth record. < Why on earth would someone post a query about a birth on a list supposedly dedicated to cemeteries? <g> Peter, the older of the tworobbos at Bairnsdale, gateway to the Victorian Riviera

OK, here goes. Apologies to anyone who gets this on more than one list, but I am running out of places to look so am trying everything I can. My GG Grandfather was Frederick Beattie. We are trying to trace his birth record. On 26 June 1847 he enlisted in the Royal Marines at Killybegs. We have his service record, marriage in 1861 to Ann(e) Willey immigration to Australia and record of death, but nothing prior to enlistment. He lists his parents as Alexander Beattie & Margaret Miller and place of birth as "in or near the town of Hollybrook, Parish of Killaghtee, County of Donegal" If anyone on the list has any suggestions or can locate any information, I and my father's family would be very grateful. TIA Jenny

Hi everyone This is my first posting to the list I am trying to locate any cemetery records for the surname McLernon. This is not a common surname and after searching the Rootsweb archives nobody has ever posting any request for links to this name. I believe they were a Roman Catholic family. Instances of the surname have occured in the following areas Antrim 3 Belfast City 1 Donegal 1 Armagh 3 Derry 3 Tyrone 3 This information is from the 1848-1864 Primary Valuation survey of 1848-1864 JOHN McLERNON is the particular name I am researching, I have no accurate details on his date of death except that in 1857 his 20 year old daughter was married in England, which probably puts his birth near the beginning of the 19th century, and he was a weaver. Any help would be appreciated Sue Small
