The following cemetery transcriptions are now at the Ballymena library. They are not on the shelves, but presently are held on a separate floor. In general, I think that they intend for people to ask the librarians to look up names and they don't plan to put them out for people to look through. I got them to bring down some of the books, but it was not easy getting them. And they weren't interested in bringing any more down. When they were at the Ballymena Museum they were accessible to the public. While in Ballymena, I talked to Ronnie McBride who is in charge of the cemeteries that are run by the Borough Council. He seemed to think he would do something about getting the transcriptions onto the shelves, or digitized. We'll see. In the meantime, if you want look ups, I would suggest that you contact the library. [email protected] There is an index book, but it lists only the surname and what cemeteries that name is found in. Ahoghill (Brookside) Ahoghill (St. Colmaneli?) Ahoghill (St. Mary's Roman Catholic) Ahoghill (Trinity) Ballyclug Ballymarlow (Church of Ireland) Ballymena Broughsane (Racavan) Broughshane (1st Presbyterian) Broughshane (St. Patrick's Church of Ireland) Buckna (new) Buckna (Old) Clough Connor (kirkhill) Connor (New) Connor (St. Saviors) Crebilly Cullybackey (Craigs) Glenwhirry (Presbyterian) Gracehill (Moravian) Grange (Presbyterian) Kells (Kellswater Reformed Presbyterian) Killymurris The burial books in possession of the Borough Council for the cemeteries they are in charge of (Clough, Kirkinriola - not sure what others) are being digitized. However, it was not clear to me if they will be available to the public or only be a special data base that the librarians can access. In theory it has been arranged for a friend of mine to go in and take pictures of the burial books, but since I returned from Ireland I have not been able to get a confirmed time for this to happen. I suspect it may be difficult for me to make it happen from here but will keep trying. At present the only way to get information from the burial books is if you already know the death date - which if you knew you wouldn't need to ask them. I actually don't remember if I posted this info already or not. If it is a second post, sorry. Anne
