Dear Listers
No -- I'm not referring to yesterday's rugby match between Ireland and Scotland, at Murrayfield, more of a modern day battlefield ... Spotted as a new information source on Ancestry.com ….. All Scotland, Burial Monument Inscriptions, 1507-2019 Could be very helpful if you’re chasing after folks who were (or may have been) buried in Scotland. I tried a quick search using generic terms like “Londonderry”, “Tyrone” and “Donegal”. Several entries popped up, including (as a taste): CONWAY Cookstown, co. Tyrone GILMOUR Londonderry MAXWELL Birdstown, co.Donegal MITCHELL Armagh QUIN Creggen House, Cookstown, co. Tyrone Extract examples below. Hope this helps someone. It’s very special when we find details of an Irish Colleen who was born 1797/98, or even in 1830 …..
