www.Jstor.com has just allowed individual accounts. Clogher Historical Society Last week I read Vol 11, No 2 which includes Dr. James Donnelly Parish Priest of Roslea (1857-65), and then Vol 11, No. 1 (1892) that included Dr. James Donnelly's Letters to His Roman Agent, 1861-92 (With Extracts from His Journal. Fr. Donnelly traveled through parts of the US in the earlier 1850's raising funds for the Catholic University of Ireland. He had an ascerbic tongue. One reader wrote that even though it can be funny, it was not meant that way!! They were good reads and informative on early days in the US and in Ireland. Many issues of the Clogher Record are available at jstor. To make it easier to seach, there is a website of indexes 1959 thru 1997: http://homepage.eircom.net/~chs/clougherArticlesIndex14.htm More info on the historical society, http://www.clogherhistoricalsoc.com/ . I am having trouble on my search at the moment so I could give an example. Try advanced search and read through options. This membership allows three articles in 14 days. There are many more research options here - this is just related to Co. Monaghan. HTH, Ann

I have a locally published book on Donaghmoyne parish history, mainly Gaelic football. Dated 1986. In the list of book sponsors there are these CORRIGANS; Ann Dunaree Bridge Drumberagh Bridget Drumberagh Dympna Drumberagh Johnny Dunaree Peter Castleblayney I doubt they will know of any ancestors that far back in time. When I met my father's 1st cousin there in 1987 I had to tell him who his uncles were ! Theo McMahon is a good researcher there. For info on him, contact Ann Harney at her Monaghan website; She knows him. http://ahd.exis.net/monaghan/ Her email address is here; http://ahd.exis.net/monaghan/mcgeough.htm At 08:06 AM 4/17/2013, you wrote: >Do you know a place in Monaghan I can visit when I go to Ireland to >do research? >Diana > -----Original Message----- > From: D Corrigan <corrigan_diana@hotmail.com> > To: IRL-MONAGHAN <IRL-MONAGHAN@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Mon, Aug 13, 2012 7:56 am > > I am looking for any information about a John Corrigan born around > 1800-1810 who married a Margaret Crossin born around same time.

Yes I think you are correct about wishful thinking! Plenty visit the graveyards but no one is willing to take a few photos.

OK, how about if a notice was prominently added to http://www.monaghantourism.com/default.aspx which invited visitors to do so? Enlisting the general populace to submit their digital photos is becoming SOP in news reporting and solving crime (eg. the current Boston Marathon incident). Currently buried in monaghantourism.com is this: Gravestone Inscriptions - A large number of graveyards have been inspected over the years and the inscriptions recorded in printed sources. These are available at Monaghan County Library, Clones. which implies that just about everything has already been made available. We want to attract visitors to Monaghan to track down their ancestry, so how about making it an interactive search with parts of their families' stories still to be discovered? People love to be a part of the action, particularly when it's as easy as using the cameras on their phones and submitting photos. The fact that they'd be key players in discovering their own family history would give them plenty of incentive. It's the very reason that got them thinking about making the trip in the first place!

Pat Thanks very much for the Link. Those are great pictures. They are of special interest to me as I believe this was the parish church of my Bell ancestors. I have found a reference to a Bell headstone in this cemetery. The location is given as "as you walk down the graveyard, it is the last large grave on the left". I hope to get over in the next year or so to see it for myself. In the meantime, it would be great if some kind soul who lives in the area would take a photo of the grave and forward it to me. Wishful thinking, I suppose. Murray Bell On Apr 16, 2013, at 3:26 PM, Pat Traynor wrote: > I had the wrong URL before.

Thanks so much, Dave. I'll cruise around the archives a good bit in the weeks ahead. That's a good heads-up about the RC burials in C of I graveyards too. Perhaps it's out there in the ether somewhere, but there should be a site that brings together links to all the major graveyard sites to eliminate having to search for them. I'm not currently active on ancestry.com, but maybe they can link members to more than just FAG.

Got it, Dave--thanks for the insight. As a very recent member of this list who's not able to do this work as much as I'd like to, I hadn't seen the earlier announcements nor looked into IGP, which I have now. I've checked every link that I can find, but I can't see a way to access archived messages. Could you kindly repost the link to the Clogher churches info & locations? Or--can the link be made permanently accessible somewhere in IGP? I think it would be valuable to many since Google Maps seems to fall short here. Perhaps the info could be uploaded to GM? Learning of new sources all the time, which is what is so great about this. Much thanks to you and to everyone who participates.

Hi, Anyone know if there has been a record of the graves in the above church yard ? Near Dawsons Grove Patrick Sent from my iPad

Strangely enough people seem to find more reasons NOT to take photos than to take them! I used to take some for Monaghan but it was getting into an argument as to how many pictures one could take in 1 minute that I gave up. I do Leitrim and some other places instead. Indeed Findagrave has been rewarding to me too! Others go into a g/yard and just take 1 or 2 pics of "their" lot... often g/stones can be the only record that exists for some churches. Don't forget it is often those with a vested interest that disrupts any attempt to photograph g/stones in certain counties!! Also, it is impossible at times to get volunteers to even transcribe what is on a gravestone which is why one often only gets a surname for a particular stone. There are plenty who just sit back and expect others to do everything for them. I'm rather surprised that you didn't know of IGP, the updates for new gravestones have been announced regularly on this board. Regards Dave Hall.

A while back I posted the link to all the churches in Clogher which gave contact names/email addys and also giving Google map showing locations of churches so it is in the archives here!

I'd guess that every church would have a cemetery.

Sharon asks: === I would like to know the main RC cemeteries in Donaghmoyne. Would you know? === Sharon, Using only Mitchell's "A Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards", we have the following locations of RC churches - and attached cemeteries - in the combined civil parishes of Donaghmoyne and Inishkeen (which together form the RC parish of Donaghmoyne). In the Donaghmoyne Civil Parish part of the parish, we have church/graveyards in Drumcattan, Lisdoonan and Taplagh townlands. For the Inishkeen part, there is an RC church and cemetery in Lacklom townland.
