"Dr. Jane Lyons" <sniliaghin@iol.ie> wrote: Memorials of the Dead Vol.! by Ian Cantwell published by Enneclann This is what is included on the cd about Ian ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ian Cantwell (1949-) has spent the last twenty-five years as a researcher in Market Research, History, Drug Addiction and Rehabilitation, Community Development, Geography, and, most recently, Medieval Climate. He has published articles and was editor of the Roundwood and District History and Folklore Society Journal, 1995-8. Inspired by his father, Brian J. Cantwell FRSAI FIGRS (1914-1992) author of Memorials of the Dead, Vols. I-XI, Cos. Wicklow and Wexford, he conducted a similar survey in the maritime western parts of Cos. Mayo and Galway, in the late 1980s. As far as I can make out he concentrated on information up to 1901. I have relatives in one graveyard he covered who were there prior to this date but are not mentioned.. This is probably because the headstones were not added until the 1950s/1960s or perhaps some graves were illegible or he relied on previously collected information. He does explain his methodoligy but the blurb is far too long to recount here. --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
