Kerry friends, Have any of you seen Roger Nowlan's site (Carlow), where he has uploaded photos of headstones and asked for transcription volunteers? I volunteer and it's fabulous. My transcriptions are not yet finalized, however, they've proven so helpful. Perhaps we could work on something like this for the Kerry group? As the Irish vacations near, maybe list members can take some photos and upload them for transcription? Or, maybe I can bribe my Ballyheigue young cousins to take on a summer project ...... What do you think? http://www.nolanfamilies.org/gallery/ Kate in Chicago Ballyheigue Kerry (Monson, Leen, Mulvihill) Myshall Carlow (Nolan/Clowry) Collinstown Westmeath (Moran/Kenny) Tullamore Offaly (Nugent/Whelan) Beara Peninsula (Leahy/Holland) Here's an example from the "old" Ballon Cemetery -- Erected by Peter Nolan, New Road, Ballon In memory of his beloved wife Monica Nolan Who died 8th Nov 1885 aged 78 years Also his daughter Julia Nolan died 2nd Jan 1914 aged 60 years also his daughter Mrs. Alicia Curran Late of Slyguff Died 21st July 1916 Aged 70 yrs His son John died 12th of January 1917 aged 74 Yrs and his son James Died 1st May 1918 Aged 78 Yrs The above Peter Nolan Died 12th Mar 1898 aged 80 years.
