Thank you for all your work, I feel for the first time I may have found The Whelan's from Queens County. I have never been able to find anything on my Grandmother Mary Whelan Tracey any farther than the arrival in New York. James Tracey is who she married and he scooped her up and put her on a ship to America without telling her his plans. She had a brother Patrick/Paddy is all I know of her history. So this is a huge start in finding our Irish roots. THANKS SO MUCH! Nancy Kier

Thank you. Who would have believed I would be able to find a photo of my grandfather's grave in Templeree, Tipperary (Moor 1 Kennedy). Well at least I think he is my grandfather. I can now send off for the death cert and confirm this. I really thought I would never find him.

County Laois or Queen's Co & others connecting it!

Over the last while I've been having major computer problems with the result that I haven't been adding photos or much to this site or my From Ireland web site. Outside of not adding new stuff though, I have been busy working on a new web site for County Laois or Queen's Co., which is my main county of interest cos I grew up there.

The thing is, there are so many ways that the counties around any one county connect, you have Dioceses taking in more than one county, you can have one parish spread though two or more counties, you can have a civil parish of one name in one county but the Roman Catholic parish of the same name taking in townlands in two counties. Galmoy in Kilkenny and Portarlington in Laois are prime examples of this. Galmoy covers Laois & Kilkenny and Portarlington covers Offaly & Laois.

Anyway, I decided that I've seen too many people asking questions on the various county rootsweb mail lists which never get answered cos people tend to think of counties as being fixed individual entities. I've created a new mail list or group on Google Groups for Laois and the counties which surround it. I meant to include Tipperary in the name, but I forgot!! and I ended up with a group called : Carlow-Kildare-Kilkenny-Laois-Offaly-Ireland-genealogy

* Group home page: http://groups.google.com/group/carlow-kildare-kilkenny-laois-offaly-ireland-genealogy

So, even though it looks like I've not been too busy, I have, between setting up the Laois or Queen's County Genealogy web site at http://www.laoisgenealogy.com (to which I am busy moving information from the Laois section of my From Ireland web site, and then the new Google Group for the above counties. Then, I have to go back to anywhere that I have the old URL's at and change them, just like with this site. in the meantime, I have lots more new gravestone photographs to go on this site or From Ireland when I get round to it.

Anatrim, Coolrain, Co. Laois

I have loaded the photographs taken at the old Church of Anatrim near Coolrain to my web site

The photographs can be see at:

The surnames and placenames found on the stones are listed below.

General photographs showing the condition of the graveyard and the numerous stones which can't be read and marker stones can be seen in the Anatrim photo album on this web site. The graveyard has been restored in the last number of years and the marker stones are all laid out the same way as in other graveyards, but the condition of the raveyard is deteriorating rapidly and it looks like it will soon be back to the way it was when I last visited it in 1999.

Surnames found on these stones : Bergin - Bradish - Brereton - Burke - campion - Carter - Conroy - Cooper - Cornelious - Coughlan - Drennan - Edward?s - Fitzgerald
Fitzpatrick - Flood - Harding - Haswell - Hipwell - Hyland - Leigh - Mitchell - Murphy - Palmer - Phelan - Pim - Sawyer - Selby - Sharp - Vousden - Ward
