We have just spent a week looking for rellies in Co Donegal on the Inishowen Peninsula.

We took lots of photos of headstones that may (or may not) be of family interest - the names are some we recognise and may find a connection later.

It occured to me that other Rootschatters may have a connection and like to use the photos.

You can find them on

Good hunting

Ellen

Ireland's Gravestone Index- pay site but search is free and can be quite useful (although there are some errors with people being listed twice in wrong parishes)
