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:
http://www.from-ireland.net/grave-transcriptions/all#display
and my photographs at:
http://www.from-ireland.net/photographs/index.php

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

Regards,

Jane
