HISTORIC GRAVES | THE ON-LINE GRAVES AND GRAVEYARDS FINDER

HISTORIC GRAVES | THE ON-LINE GRAVES AND GRAVEYARDS FINDER

May be of interest:

http://www.historicgraves.ie/

There are a number of counties in this site, inc Cork, Kilkenny and Waterford with a selection of graveyards from those counties. In the one graveyard I "visited" there were only a few inscriptions indexed but you could zoom in on even a very hard to read stone.

Clara

FOOTNOTE:

This is a great site. Be sure to read the terms and conditions and respect them. Access is free, as this a community effort, something many of you are also involved in. I would suggest that you make yourself a cuppa and delve to your heart's content. There are a limited number of graveyards as yet, but many more to come. There are some very interesting blogs, also stories about certain areas and a map that shows you where they have covered so far. Cemetery details are quite precise, so well worth copying down if you are lucky enough to not only find a grave that you were seeking, but perhaps able to go actually look for it.

We are very fortunate to have so much available to all of us through the work of volunteers.

Here are just a few other sites of graveyard photos...

There are many more... search for gravestones, Ireland and settle in for the day...

CLARE ROOTS SOCIETY Drumcliff Stage 2 (Calvary Section)

Clare Roots Society under the direction of John Bradley are about to commence stage 2 (Calvary) of recording the gravestones.

This will entail:

Receiving a map of your section.

Photographing Gravestones:

Transcribing inscriptions to a word document.

Returning to manually recording unreadable headstones.

We need approximately 11 individual (or couples) willing to take on a section of 50 graves approximately. A brief session will take place for all participants prior to commencing. We would hope to have it completed by the end of January. You would carry out the recording at a suitable time to yourself.

Unfortunately Clare County Council have mislaid 10 years of records within this section of the Cemetery so our work will be of immense value to future generations.

You can view our previous work with regard to Drumcliff at:

http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/genealogy/don_tran/graves/drumcliff_old_graveyard_ennis.htm

Thanking all in advance:

Clara Hoyne.

N.B. Don't forget the fantastic book on Drumcliff Cemetery is available through the Clare Roots Society as per

http://clareroots.org/index.php/2011-06-29-19-06-17/publications

You can read all about it on the above link. It is far more than a list of names...

GRAVESTONE INSCRIPTIONS CLARE CASTLE/ BALLYEA

We often complain about the lack of records for Irish research, but now there is so much being released due to the work of volunteers, as well as some of the paid sites.

As many of you know, I'm involved with Clare Roots Society and am so pleased to be associated with this hard working group. One of the most recent achievements has been the documenting of around 2,000 records from the Clare Castle/Ballyea churches... see full details below.

This book looks to be going to it's second print, which is fantastic... it sells for €10 plus postage, and was under €5 to post to Australia...

However, to go ahead with the second print, we really need names of those who genuinely would like a copy of the book. If you are one of those, could you please contact Clara Hoyne, secretary of the CRS (Clare Roots Society) at

Clara Hoyne <secretary@clareroots.org>

Clara will be able to help you with further details. Perhaps you could also tell Clara where you heard about this book.

Clare Castle / Ballyea – The Parish Remembers

2 November 2011 saw the launch of a book written and compiled by Eric Shaw entitled Clare Castle / Ballyea – The Parish Remembers. In conjunction with Clare Roots Society, Eric has documented all the readable gravestone inscriptions in Clare Abbey, Clare Hill, Killoo, Killone, and Ballyea & Clare Castle Churches. These amount to about 2,000 records, some dating from the late 1600s. The book will help to preserve the inscriptions and to make them available for family history research. It will also help to draw visitors and fits in with development plans to promote the attractions of the Parish.
