The History from Headstones site lists inscriptions from 800+ Northern Ireland graveyards. The databases cover counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone. There is a free surname search but there is a fee to view inscriptions.

The link below shows Graveyards and Churches throughout Ireland in Brian J. Cantwell's Memorials of the Dead. I'm not certain if a book of these memorials was published but they're on a CD www.eneclann.ie/acatalog/TourENEC014.html

my recollection is that the National Archive in Bishop St has 9-10 volumes (I think in 4 books) of Brian Cantwell's Wicklow and Wexford list of gravestones.
There may also be copies in the National Library and maybe Gilbert Library, Pearse St?

He also published 'A Cantwell Miscellany' in 1960, a history of the Cantwell surname.

Hi and thanks for the website. I am having trouble with my Irish  sides so thought I would give it a try. I'm afraid the price is a little steep. It costs 4 pounds for four credits and to see a full inscription is 4 credits. I'm thinking the Irish will just have to stay lost for  now.  lol  Donna
