More monumental inscription records have been made available online.
The Irish Family History Foundation’s Online Research Service (ORS) has announced that an additional 65,000 gravestone inscriptions are now online at the Irish World Heritage Centre’s websites for Counties Tyrone and Fermanagh, as well as at the Roots Ireland website (which covers nearly all of Ireland).
14000+ Irish Church, Gravestone & view photos online:
My name is Jane Lyons and I am an Irish genealogist. I have a website called from-ireland which has been on the internet since 2001 and up to last week I had an average of 1000 visitors per day. I began transcribing Irish gravestones in 1996 and back about 9 years ago acquired my first digital camera.
In the last few weeks we have loaded 14000+ Irish church & gravestone photographs to from-ireland, we have also included 25 albums of views of areas around the country.
My albums include the following:
42 albums for Kilkenny county = 4,616 photographs
49 Albums for Laois or Queen’s Co. = 6774 photographs
25 albums for counties from Clare, Cork, Kerry, Kildare, Limerick and Offaly. = 2,626 photographs
25 albums of miscellaneous views of places in Ireland.
My photo index can be found at:

and my photographs at:

I believe that this is the largest collection of freely available easily accessible Irish Gravestone photographs in the world and it is probably 1/2 my collection. It is our intention to add the rest of my collection to the web. My website also includes transcriptions of parish records amongst other things
I have been described as a Pioneer of graveyard recording by the Irish historicgraves blog

Perhaps your readers would be interested in accessing the collection, thank you
