It is so true though.
I do lots of look ups and take headstone photos for people voluntarily. You would be shocked to find that I rarely even get a simple "Thank You". Once people get what they were looking for that's it off into the sunset. You can see that at times even with rootschat.com on the message boards. Sometimes you would feel like giving up but I enjoy it so much.
I really appreciate people like yourself who are so willing to share and hope that it will be very
useful to people doing family history research.
I'm sure some genealogists who charge exorbitant prices for their work are thrilled with people like yourself ,myself and many others who provide help freely!!
Thanks again from one appreciative Cork lady!

That is so generous of you especially at a time when so many genealogy sites charge exorbitant money to join and extras for other things. So many people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon trying to make as much as they can.
It is like a breath of fresh air to see how thoughtful you have been. I will certainly enjoy reading your book.
Thank you again.

As they seem to have been buried at St. Joseph's cemetery , Tory Top Road, Cork the online records for this cemetery go up to 1917. There are further burial registers in hard copy - and maybe if you contacted the Cork Archives they might be able to look up both burial entries for Michael Raymond and Frank O'Shea. Their names are listed on the www.irishgenalogy.ie however their death certificates are not available.
Frank O'Shea https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=0c9e5f72a2-1260210

The hard copies of entries for 1874 to 1947 are available in hard copy at the Cork Archives in Blackpool Cork. Maybe if you contacted the Archives you could at least get the Section numbers, and the possible locations of the graves at St. Josephs. It is a huge cemetery and most of the burials are not strictly in definitive rows although 1940 burials might be in the newer sections.

If you get that information you could come back to us and maybe we could have a look to see if the graves can be found. Do you know if they are C.W.G.C graves ?
Hope this helps.

I'm the Mary you referred to in your December post.
I think I have found the connection to yourself through the Fitzgerald surname?
I'm back to say you are also related to my husband through DNA???
Thankfully my husband and I are not related to each other!!!.
My husband's family came from the North side of the City.
So a lot of coincidences.

Cork / Re: St Michaels Church Blackrock Cork
« on: Monday 27 January 25 23:04 GMT (UK) »Hi,
I had a look at my database and I photographed this cemetery in 2005 however I didn't get to take all of the headstones. As we don't know if the lady in the photo is standing beside the Ross grave it seems things have changed since that photo was taken.
I have one photo taken of the left hand side of the church and it shows just one grave with full railings around it similar to the white ones in the old photo. It seems there was an extension to that side of the church and maybe the railings had to be moved for some graves. The railings with the lady does not show a standing headstone - it might be out of view.
It is definitely the same church as in my photo there are 4 pinnacles on the mid section of the spire the same as in the old photo.
If you have any other surnames linked to this Ross family we might be able to find some headstone relevant to this family.
Mary
