Dear Friends in Ireland,

We would be deeply grateful if someone would be willing to go to the cemetery at Church of Christ to take some digital photos of gravestones of the following lost family members. It's possible some could also be buried nearby in Tully, Gorteen or Renvyle. Any information on these loved ones would be deeply appreciated. Many thanks! Carey Ann (careyann2799@gmail.com / 01-310-993-3700)

PS There are other ancestors we could list, but they're buried in the United States, so we didn't include them here. We may list them in another post in case it's helpful.

PPS The numbers in parentheses (i.e. (1) (2) and ||||| signify different generation). Thank you so much for helping us. :-)

PPPS If you run into any other information or photos on these folks or their descendants, you know we'd be pleased as punch to hear about them. Thank you for your kind help! :-)

  • Hi Clare, Thank you for your reply and my apologies for not responding sooner! I'm just seeing your message! No, noone replied to my request for gravestone photos or any kind of records. I did briefly get the opportunity to visit a small cemetery in Tooreena a few years ago and posted all the photos I took on FindAGrave.com. Not many of the gravestones belonged to my ancestors, however. I would be grateful for any additional insights or suggestions you might have! Thank you! Best wishes, Carey Ann
