Details of 6,000 burials at Cork city's biggest cemetery go online

The researching of Cork ancestors is being made easier through the online availability of records for the city’s biggest cemetery.

As well as locations within St Finbarr’s Cemetery of nearly 6,000 burials, geneaologists, historians and other researchers can find details of the religion, occupation, place of birth, marital status, and the last address of each of the deceased laid to rest there over a period covering its first 30 years of use.

The records, which have been transcribed and uploaded to the website of Cork City and County Archives, are for the period from the first burials, dating from December 1867 up to June 1896.
