Just under one third (3,895) of the records relate to Irish-born individuals and, remarkably, all but 500 entries identify the county from which they originate.
This collection, which contains records from 1841 to the late 1880s, could throw open the research doors to many Americans descended from Irish immigrants who fled the famine.
Here's a breakdown of the Irish identified in the interment records with their home county in Ireland:
Antrim 10 | Kerry 76 | Queens 114 |
| Armagh 35 | Kildare 38 | Roscommon 159 |
Carlow 80 | Kilkenny 195 | Sligo 47 |
Cavan 307 | Kings 114 | Tipperary 458 |
Clare 62 | Leitrim 28 | Tyrone 91 |
Cork 376 | Limerick 160 | Waterford 83 |
Derry 22 | Londonderry 5 | Westmeath 138 |
Donegal 28 | Longford 143 | Wexford 131 |
Down 39 | Louth 93 | Wicklow 43 |
Dublin 52 | Mayo 36 | Ireland-No County 500 |
Fermangh 30 | Meath 116 | |
Galway 39 | Monaghan 47 | TOTAL IRISH 3,895 |
The records, along with further details of the cemetery and how the book was rediscovered, are freely searchable on the Troy Irish Genealogy Society website. Take a look, too, at their other transcription projects, while you're at it.
Hearty congratulations to the Society and its members for making these priceless records available.
