Thanks, Valerie, for reminding all of us about Mt. Jerome. You can order the films through the LDS Family History library system at any branch library. By going to their library site you can look at all the films you might want. I've put all the indexes on permanent loan at our local library. I can't find my book that has all the films numbers in it right now, but I do know there are 3 sections, the first being the index, the second the perpetuity records of who is buried in each grave that is purchased by a family member, and the 3rd section is the individual burial records. Some times the family bought the right for other family members to be buried with each other...and sometimes you'll find they didn't. When looking at the index note the year and get the grave # on the left column. Then you go to that year and that grave number and you get the actual burial information. If they are buried with other family members you will see the column called "No. of Grant if in Perpetuity" which will give you a number of a family grave. Remember...not everyone was buried with other family members so if that column is blank...they probably weren't buried with family members or someone forgot to record it. If you find a family grave the year and number of burial is also listed on the right hand column for each person buried in the grave. For example...my grandfather William Donald McLean bought the grave in 1917. He buried my grandmother and her individual certificate tells where she died, the date she was buried, her age, what she died of, and the date she died as well as the grave number and the perpetuity #. It also gives his name, address and the fact he is her husband in the last column. Unfortunately the two children who died before Grandma are buried in individual graves and not with the family. Someone else is probably buried with them. The funny thing is when going through the burials one by one we discovered that an Annie Creighton was buried in the grave in 1897, 20 years before my grandfather bought it. We have no idea who she is. Then the cemetery records said that the grave was full....but my cousin didn't know that and buried his mother there in 1999. Anyway, thanks again Valerie, for reminding everyone of such a valuable source. Sure wish they would copy the Glasnevin records so I can see if any of any of my Catholic relatives show up. Mt. Jerome ...last I was told...is a Protestant cemetery. Does anyone know that for sure?

The other thing I forgot to mention is that in the Attestant's Column you not only get the name of the person BUT their signature and relation to the deceased.
