Peter, will you allow me to use your text (modified) to sent to other groups re Find a Grave participation? (Leaving on cruise tomorrow, but will do it when I return.) Indeed, FaG is quickly becoming a research tool of importance, but only because of volunteers. Of course, since Ancestry now references it in their hints, it will continue its growth.

As a user of and contributor to Find_a_Grave, I'd like to second the motion made by Peter T! With help from new-found relatives and total strangers in Scotland, I have been able to create memorials for my wife's gg-grandparents and other relatives in Scotland, Nova Scotia & the US, linking from children to parents so that one can actually step through the tree. Now trying to track down her Irish ancestors (McKenna) in Monaghan. Ken Thompson StLouis, MO near the confluence of the Illinois, Missouri and Mississippi rivers

Sharon, you might make this contact to get direct info: diocesanoffice@clogherdiocese.ie. I'd guess that every church would have a cemetery. Searching for cemeteries and Catholic churches with Google Maps in the area didn't produce much. Peter On Apr 12, 2013, at 10:15 AM, Sharon Connor wrote: > Brilliant, Peter.

Many of us know of the Find A Grave website: http://www.findagrave.com/index.html. For those on this list who are not yet familiar with it, it's a site that allows anyone to post detailed gravesite info with photos. It's hugely successful, with 150,000 users/day accessing a database of 97,000,000 graves, mostly in the US. In IE, particularly in Monaghan, not so much. If volunteers in Ireland started posting more graves, it would be a tremendous help to family researchers with Irish ancestry everywhere. Posting your family members' graves could start a wave of postings to this very helpful resource. It's really pretty easy. For Ireland research, click on "Search 97 million grave records" in the above link, then enter at least a last name and select Ireland from the country list, along with birth and death year parameters if desired. While counties Dublin & Louth seem to have a lot of postings, Monaghan does not. Here are a few of the Monaghan cemeteries represented-- St. Mary's Church and Cemetery (only 34 graves): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2305599 Broomfield Old Cemetery (only 9 graves): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2226961 Tedavnet Cemetery (only 5 graves): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2483415 St. McCartin's Cathedral Cemetery (only 6 graves): http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GScid=2467361 So take a look, Monaghan list members who are not yet familiar with the site--try posting a handful of graves with photos of the markers. Many are drawn into the process, knowing all the good it does and end up posting hundreds or thousands. These death records that are carved in stone are the most reliable! Peter Trainer

Brilliant, Peter. I'm a huge fan and user of Find A Grave, and in fact I volunteer grave-photography here in San Diego. It's very rewarding. But I never thought to advise/suggest others to do likewise! I think Find A Grave is quickly becoming a major research tool for us. I would like to know the main RC cemeteries in Donaghmoyne. Would you know? I think I will take your lead and suggest to folks in Kingston, Ontario, to do post their ancestors. Almost all of my ancestors from Counties Cork, Monaghan and Donegal first settled in Kingston area.

Roisin, I don´t know if the church keeps a death record nowadays, but in general, with regards to the earlier records there was only births and marriages. You have to go to the civil records for deaths. There are two graveyards in Clones for the Sacred Heart church, both out the Roslea Road. However, there may be a smaller graveyard closer to the townland of Tandragee, I´m not sure. There´s a Lennon record in one of the Clones graveyards that reads the following: Edward Lennon of Drumbellimy in memory of his son Patrick who departed this life December 12th 1895 aged 25, may he rest in peace. I´m afraid I have no others, but they may in fact be there as I didn´t record all the gravestones. Not sure if this helps.

Hi, I have long been searching for my Jane Anne McDonnell Darby. She married in Clones in 1882 and had 3 children. While the husband, William, appears on a farm in Cavan, his original county, in both 1901 and 1911 as married, the wife and children are missing. I have now found a Jane Darby on the Family Search site who died in 1942 in Monaghan. There are no other Jane Darby's in Monaghan or of the right age in the 1901/11 census records for Cavan or Monaghan. Are there any death notices available in Monaghan in 1940. I am searching for descendants of Jane. We are trying to connect with newly found relatives in Scotland as well. Any help would be appreciated. Email out to Monaghan library also. Thank you Janet

Passing this on from another list: http://www.dunbrody.com/ For the port of New York, the database covers the years between 1846 and 1890. For Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Philadelphia the database covers only the famine years between 1846 and 1851. Access to the database is free through this website. Printouts are available for a small fee. Might be worth checking it out. Regards, Christina

What sources have you already checked and what information do you already have? It's frustrating to spend time helping people, only to have them respond "I already knew that." Have you checked the civil birth index, church birth and marriage records, 1901 and 19011 censuses, and Griffith's (for Patrick)? Do you know if James emigrated? Siblings' names?
