ABOUT THIS PAGE

 This page is for the gravestones of those who are of Irish descent...
their parents, grandparents, born in Ireland..
so as their Irish connections will not be forgotten.

Unlike other pages, they will not be sorted by their resting place, simply by name, alphabetically, though details will be added as they are known. You can search via the search bar at the bottom of each page or scroll through as you please.
