Will keep you in the loop on any Linehan findings also. I have been using Ancestry.com ( under Higgins Family Tree) at some point in time may have to expand to rootsireland. Thanks

Thanks Walsh Seeker - If I find anything I will send some Pics meanwhile do try Google Maps you can see how small the cemetery is and switching to Street View you can drive right up to the little white gate and if you zoom in you get a sense of how old the headstones are. FYI - I'm looking for the grave of my great grand parents Timothy Higgins and Catherine Linehan ( both died abt 1910 or so). The last time there I found some head stones for those family names but no names that I had a known connection to. Hopefully this time I will have more time to explore and dig thru the overgrowth.

Thanks for the quick reply - I was familiar with that doc (one of the few for Templecurraheen) but as you can see very limited. I will be in that area  in the next couple of weeks. If I can locate a better record source, I will post it. Thanks again

Ballydw - Oddly enough  I am also a Higgins and the cemetery records I'm looking for are for a Timothy Higgins who died in Blarney in 1911 but according to family history was buried in Templecurraheen  (see other thread). His father was Garrett Higgins b.1814 in Cork and was living in Poulacurry, Glanmire in 1853 according to Griffths Valuations. May not be a connection to your Higgins but who knows.

Just stumbled upon RootsChat and this forum RE: Carrigtwohill during my own research concerning Templecurraheen cemetery where according to my family history my great grand parents are buried.  Some info for Ballydw and Walsh-seeker. Apparently this area is more formerly known as Kilcurfin Glebe ( you can locate it with Google Maps - check Satellite and Street View) - very small cemetery (not well kept heavily overgrown). So far I have been unable to locate who has the records. Its not far from St Marys Parish in Carrigtwohill.  Hope that helps.
