Over 10,500 additional previously unavailable burial records from 89 graveyards in Cork county are now online to view free of charge.
Skibbereen Heritage Centre has been digitising Cork County Council burial registers for some time and this latest addition brings the number of burial records in its database to over 45,500.
"We're delighted to bring these records into the public domain", said Centre manager Terri Kearney, "and we are very grateful to Cork County Council for its support of this project".
An interactive map of the 89 graveyards included can be found on the Graveyard Database page of Skibbereen Heritage Centre’s website https://skibbheritage.com/west-cork-graveyards-database/
Also on the website are a number of short films about local graveyards and these can be found on https://skibbheritage.com/graveyard-videos/ in addition to information on the graveyard signs erected by Skibbereen Heritage Centre over the years https://skibbheritage.com/west-cork-graveyard-signs/.
