Hi Poppyo,
           The place you are looking for is Cannakill, Croghan, Rhode Co Offaly. Cannakill is a townland in Croghan DED. Would be very interested to know of the family name and I may be able to help.


Regards,

Oliver P.

Hi Robert,
Good to see your message. There are a number of Croghan townlands in Ireland and it seems that you are writing about the one in Co Roscommon.
The Croghan Hill Cementry that I wrote about is located in Co. Offaly.
You family history story is interesting and hopefully someone in Roscommon will be able to help.

Regards


Oliver :)

Hi Hazel and Lesley,
               Just happen to read your mail on roots today and delighted to see so many interested in Croghan. I live at the foot of the hill and well aware of the areas you write about. I'm also very interested in the Old Graveyard on the Hill as its special because my grandfather is buried here.
I have read the headstones over a number of years and have these recorded. I would still love to hear from people who think their ancestors may be buried in Croghan Hill Graveyard. I would like as much info on each person that you feel my be buried there.
Croghan Hill graveyard is probably one of the most important sites in Ireland as it was at this site that St Brigid received her veil from Bishop McCaille. His church is recorded as being located at this graveyard.
If your ancestor was buried here I would love to hear about it as most people had no headstone.
Regards,

Welcome Oliver.
