Genealogists always want to know where their ancestors are buried. It’s not just to see what else they might learn from their gravesites. It’s more than that. It’s a need to connect with them, to know they’re ‘at peace’. Many countless hours are spent seeking out their final resting places, so, to help ensure they're not forgotten again, I'm creating a virtual graveyard, incorporating a memorial for each ancestor.

My intention is to create a virtual graveyard with a memorial for each of my ancestors. The category 'Theme: Virtual Graveyard', seen on the right, is the graveyard gate. Clicking here, you enter my graveyard. You can visit each grave, irrespective of where in the world they are physically located.
Links for my direct ancestors above are, or will be, to their memorial in the 'virtual graveyard' at Black Raven Genealogy. Links for members of their immediate family are to a memorial at Find A Grave, if one has been created. Find A Grave is an online collection of gravesites and memorials from around the world.

The grave registers really do add value don’t they, offering additional information. Are funeral directors’ records maintained as well?
ReplyDeleteNo, not with Glasnevin Cemetery, though I did get information from them as to who the undertakers were for my brick-wall great-grandfather, and have found out their records are at the National Archives... which are currently closed! :-(
DeleteBut at least if they’re at TNA or NAI there’s hope in the future. You’re making me wish I hadDublin relatives....well I do but they left early.
DeleteNAI - never heard of anyone wishing their ancestors were Irish for the genealogy Pauleen. Yes, they're at the NAI, and Glasnevin records go back to about 1830.
DeleteIs access to these Dublin burial registers expensive?
ReplyDeleteNo, quite reasonable Jill, €3 for 1 record, €8 for everyone in the grave (except for paupers' plots) and €10 for copies of the original registers as well. And, it's a charity, so monies go towards the upkeep of the cemeteries, and they have done a great job with Glasnevin Cemetery.
