Ireland's leading genealogical magazine has praised Limerick City Council's decision to become the first local authority to put its burial records online. And 'Ireland's Genealogical Gazette' believes it will help bring more tourists into the city.
The monthly newsletter of the Genealogical Society of Ireland says, Limerick City Council has most certainly thrown down the gauntlet to all other local authorities by its decision to utilise its archival and heritage resources as a means to promote an awareness, appreciation and knowledge of the social history of its city.
Burial records for the City's largest cemetery, Mount Saint Lawrence, dating back to 1855 are accessible on the internet free of charge.
