I have established a family web site for the Fottrell surname. While it contains mostly entries for that name and mostly in Ireland, there are many other surnames due to marriage entries. Why not take a look and see if anything connects? http://www.Fottrell.net Good luck, Gene Fottrell

In the FHL in Salt Lake City there is a book, a fascinating history of Glasnevin Cemetery which describes the arrangements for purchase etc: while one thinks of a grave being "owned" some were in fact recycled after a number of years.

All of the registers of Mount Jerome Cemetery (to circa mid-1970s) have been filmed by the LDS Church. However, they were filmed out of order and thus it can be difficult to make reason of them. Of course, Mount Jerome Cemetery was Dublin's main Protestant cemetery until the 1940s/50s. Catholics, until that period, were usually buried at Glasnevin Cemetery (known once as Prospect Cemetery). The main cemetery for the south of Co. Dublin is Deansgrange (which dates from the 1860s). A good number of the inscriptions from Deansgrange have been published by the Dun Laoghaire Genealogical Society, more recently known as the Genealogical Society of Ireland. Margaret is quite correct in suggesting that Registers of Perpetuities relate to the perpetual care of graves.

When I was growing up, my family always paid for "perpetual care" for family graves, meaning - for a fee - they'd always be taken care of by the church which maintained the cemetery. I suspect that's what perpetuity means. Bev in Iowa

Hey fellow listers, I was wondering if anybody has any information on a Patrick Eugene Marr, born in 1816 in County Kerry. Or if you have any information on his wife, Mary Ann O'Grady born also in County Kerry in 1826. The only other information that I have is that they moved to the United States after the start of the famine and all 8 of their children were born in the United States. Both Patrick and Mary died and were buried in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. Patrick on November 8, 1901 and Mary on January 27, 1899. If you can help me out in any way please email me lovesoccer_2001@yahoo.com or talk to me on aol instant messenger SocverVicki.

The LDS Family History Library Catalogue has a note defining perpetuities: "Perpetuities are the perpetual right of burial in a plot of ground". So once interred, a body would remain undisturbed, as opposed to the practice of burying someone else in the same plot after a given number of years. This practice was common and even headstones were removed and used as paving stones and for other purposes that would shock us today. We could go on and mention what often happened to the skeletal remains; but it would not be tasteful. The Registers of Perpetuities may as well be named Burial Registers. As I have viewed Mount Jerome Registers on LDS m/f and all the information is there concerning the individual, address, cause of death, burial plot etc. There is one column titled, "No. of Grant in Perpetuity". Most often there is an entry in this column; but not always. This would imply that those without an entry do not have the security of "Perpetuity". So it would be safe, for instance, to order LDS m/f such as # 91063, which is for the period 1848-1858. Brian Loughnan, Searching Loughnan/e, Tomkins, Sullivan in Limerick, Cork and Kerry.

I've heard the term "in perpetuity" regarding the maintenance of the grave. When a person dies you can arrange to have the grave maintained continually. Don't know if this is what it is referring to or not.

Hi Listers, Does anyone know what a "Register of Perpetuities" is? I finally found out that a large number of burial records for Mount Jerome have been filmed by the Family History Library. There are 3 types of films: 1. An Index Register of Burials 2. A Register of Burials 3. A Register of Perpetuities The first two types of record seem self explanatory, but I don't know what a Register of Perpetuities is. Before I go order a film to check it out, maybe sks can explain this to me? :o) Thx in advance for any help offered. Roy

Hello. I am trying to find passenger list for people who returned to Ireland in the late 1800s. Would there be a web site? or do I have to write to Ireland? My great grand father died in Boston MA in 1851, and his wife and daughter may have gone back to Ireland, I can`t seem to find any records of them after that. Any information on this will be appreciated. Best wishes. Bob. Researching, Tannian, Tannyan, Langley, Fahy, Fallon, McLoughlin and Donnelly from Galway. O`meara//O`mara, O`connor from Ireland.

Hello, I have found a suspected ancestor in the 1900 U.S. Census. His date of birth is given as May 1874. If he is a relative, he would have been born near Ballinrobe (actually to the east of there) in County Mayo. I went to the microfilm at the LDS for 1874 Irish births and pulled a copy of all the James O'HARA names for that year. But now, how do I know which to write to Ireland for? I don't know which are near Ballinrobe. Can anyone help? These are the locations: Ballymena - Rathdrum - Enniskillen - Ballycastle - Tobercurry - Sligo - Castlereagh I think that Sligo and Tobercurry are in County Sligo, but am not familiar with the others. Since O'HARA is prevalent in both Mayo and Sligo...Well, I'm hoping someone can help me whittle this down to just a few locations. Thanks for any help you can provide. Mary Theresa McCombe New York
