Thanks for posting this pics - interesting stuff. Perhaps a reminder to us all that sometimes photos of headstones can sometimes provide vital clues in our research. About a year ago I was fortune to have someone send me a photo of my G Grandparents headstone - there was a child inscirbed thereon which had only lived for a few months - I had not know about that one until then.

Best regards

Ted

Hi Ted,
my first visit to Ireland. It wasn't a genealogy trip, but we came across
several cemeteries, and I have a thing for Celtic Crosses.
The Famine Memorial was particulary sad. So many are buried in mass graves, with no names.
