I have been asked by several listers to supply the URL for the above. I found the information during a browse through the archived messages at Rootsweb. To find these, you just put ROOTSWEB in your search engine. You will find the contents page of the Rootsweb site - from here you can have hours of topics and links if you get carried away! Scroll down until you get to the section on lists. Here you can click onto the List Index to find the thousands of lists worldwide. Click on Ireland. The next page takes you to the dozens of Irish lists, some by county, some by name, some by topic. Click on to whatever takes your fancy. You will get the page of instructions for that particular list, including the search/browse archive URL - just click on that. Some lists have been going for 5 or 6 years, and will have thousands of messages. You can search for all messages with a relevant keyword name or place, year by year. Some haven't been going for more than a few months, and have very few messages in the archive. Rather than joining up to lots of lists where you constantly receive messages of no relevance, I have half a dozen where it is useful to be in permanent contact, but for others which might be useful, I just browse the archives occasionally. Saves a lot of time, and you can pick up snippets of info. The two list archives that I was checking through when I found the list of mass graves, were IRELAND-CEMETARIES, and IRISH-FAMINE. There is quite a lot of intersting stuff on the IRISH-FAMINE site. I can't remember which one the list of mass agraves came from, but that is all the information there was in the message. It is unlikely that there are any records of the names of people buried in those pits. During the famine years, even those buried in the churchyards often went unrecorded. Mary George
