Taking a grave view of forging links with descendants abroad
Teams of volunteers are to be trained to record details of stories associated with historic graveyards in west Cork. The rural development scheme, funded by West Cork Development Partnership, will see 15 communities map historical graveyards in their local areas.
The results, to be made available online in a digital archive, will aid research in genealogy and feed into future tourism potential, according to WCDP project spokesman David Tuohy.
