Oh dear Celia - I overlooked the smiley    

I didn't take offence - just felt a little disconcerted.  People on Rootschat have helped me in many ways with my research and I wanted to offer something in return ....

Don't  clear that bit off - it will serve as a gesture to others not to overlook the smilies 

Kind regards,
Maggie

Are there any rootschatters that live in Lanark in Glasgow? and that live anywhere near Glasgow Necropolis. I have 16 pages of Mc Cloys sent to me last year.From a lady who lives in Utah.So all the records are from the family history library.I was unaware until i  contacted the websit of the Cemetery .That there were three.The record does not say which one.Scotland Civil Registration states Huchinsontown.For the deaths. My G. & G.G Grandparents plus other family are buried in one the cemeteries. I have the death information and where they lived when they died.Would an address have any baring as to which Necropolis they are in.Most of the burials were in the middles 1800's but i reckon any Mc Cloys in Glasgow cems will be mine

Update 16th August I have now found the correct cemetery it is the Southern Necropolis

Wonderful idea! A gravestone board would be very useful.  I, personally, would like to see it "stickied" in The Common Room.

This would be a great idea a section for graves, I have found some fabulous head stones over the years that I would love to share.
Also as an addicted graveyard walker (that doesn't sound too good ), I'd be more than happy to check for graves in Limerick City, Ireland.

Celia,

There are three Necroplis Cemteries in Glasgow:

Have a look at this link and it tells you where they are.

www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/BirthDeathMarriage_Citizenship/Death/Burialgrounds/

There are also tons of web sites on Google - try googling Necroplis, Glasgow.

P.S. Do you think the plural of Necropolis is Necropolii?

[PrueM]

Re: the plural of Necropolis -  it's from the Greek, and the correct plural would be Necropoleis.  But the accepted English-usage plural these days is Necropolises.

   Oh dear, I've just realised:  I'm a NERD

Hi everyone,

I am willing to take photos of headstones in these cemeteries in South Australia: Enfield, Smithfield, Cheltenham and Dudley Park. Enfield is within 5 minutes of my home so I dont mind going there any day - they have a touch screen computer on site so I can lookup before I go wandering aimlessly thru the large cemetery. The others arent close but I still dont mind going to look as I have ancestors there myself.

Centennial Park Cemetery has its own website to check out whether youre ancestors are there or not - but its quite a distance from where I live so unless Im going there myself I probably wouldnt offer (but then again chances are I might) to help out due to distance.
