    I came across this post on the kerry region and thought it might be worth having in the genealogy forum for reference:

    A website has been launched detailing burial records dating back to 1898 in Kerry.
    Kerry County Council and the county's three town councils, Killarney, Listowel and Tralee, came together to launch the website along with local Leader groups.
    The site will allow members of the public access burial registers in 140 Kerry Local Authority graveyards.
    168 books were scanned for the site, which comprises approximately 70,000 records.
    They can be viewed at www.kerrylaburials.ie

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I have a personal interest in this area, and went on a trawl through the records of the old cemetery in Dunquin. It's a pity that the records don't go back a bit earlier, but that's they way things are.

    I found a big surprise: there is a record of the burial in the old cemetery of Peig Bean Ní Ghuithín (Sayers) of Baile Bhiocáire in December 1958 (yes, that Peig Sayers). Her memorial stone is in the new cemetery!
