New Gravestone Inscriptions on FindMyPast.ie

FindMyPast Ireland has released a new record set comprising of gravestone inscriptions for nearly 41,500 individuals, most of them dating from between 1618 to 2005.

The bulk of the records date between 1618 and 2005. The full memorial inscription for each gravestone is included. As well as the name of the deceased additional family names are often included. Other details recorded can include cause of death and the profession of the deceased.

The mostly north-western counties of Ireland covered by these records are some of the least well represented in other online resources making this a valuable addition to the findmypast collection records for Irish family history. Areas covered by this data are as follows:

• Achill
• Cavan
• Donegal
• Fermanagh
• Leitrim
• Meath
• Monaghan
• Tyrone

This record set was compiled by Eileen Hewson who dedicates much of her time to transcribing the details on memorials in Ireland, India and Sri Lanka
