That book, Tombstones of the Irish Born, is only a transcription of those in Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn NY who have places of origin in Ireland listed on their tombstone. It is most certainly not a listing of all those in the cemetery born in Ireland! Then of course you must realize that there are many in the cemetery that have no tombstones period (as about 1/2 of mine don't). As often said on here by myself and others, books and other transcriptions are fine, but you need to be aware of their limitations, and the fact that in this case, it is -not- a complete transcription of the cemetery. The actual records are still what you need to search. Just because someone isn't listed in a book doesn't mean they aren't in the cemetery or on the ship or whatever. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt mpetzolt2@webtv.net <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints
