Carrigans, Co. Donegal, Ireland - Register of Gravestones & Inscriptions
https://www.cotyroneireland.com/graveyard/taughboyne2.html

Thanks to Louise Hamilton for the largest addition to CTI so far in 2021 !!

This file consists of over 200 photographs of gravestones AND the
inscriptions of those stones. A great many of them were extremely difficult
to decipher.

Just imagine the hundreds of hours of work Louise must have put into this
project!!

ALL OF THE CTI GANG THANK YOU PROFUSELY !!

Accolades are indeed due to Louise Hamilton for this valuable and most interesting contribution to family history in East Donegal; having visited St. Baithin’s graveyard I can only marvel at the many visits, effort and determination taken to decipher the almost illegible and locate many headstones that lay buried beneath the turf. Just brilliant!
Louise is very active locally and is admin of the East Donegal Local and Family History Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/749886925022075http://www.facebook.com/groups/749886925022075
This is another of Louise’ projects having previously transcribed headstones in the graveyard attached to Crossroads Presbyterian Church, Allsaints Parish, Co. Donegal  www.cotyroneireland.com/graveyard/crossroads.htmlhttp://www.cotyroneireland.com/graveyard/crossroads.html
Researchers may ponder why CTI www.cotyroneireland.comhttp://www.cotyroneireland.com contains large numbers of records compiled in Co. Donegal; the parishes in north-west Tyrone and east Donegal were linked by the intensive settlement of Scots in the seventeenth century,  the Abercorn Estate and the River Foyle: tenants on the estate held leases on either bank and simply rowed a boat across the water to another leasehold. There are accounts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of flotillas of row boats daily crossing the river.
The marriages registers in Donagheady, Leckpatrick, and Camus (Strabane) parishes contain many references  to partners drawn from both counties.
Many thanks Louise,

Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Well said, Boyd!

Regarding the McAdoos of Ardagh, Taughboyne Parish, have you found the reference to John McAdoo in the 1781 Abercorn Estate Survey of the Manors of Magevelin and Lismochery on CTI ? www.cotyroneireland.com/estates/donegal1781.htmlhttp://www.cotyroneireland.com/estates/donegal1781.html

ARDAGH

Hoping this is interesting,

Mammoth task, Louise, you are the bee's knees!

I just happen to be researching the McAdoos at the moment but NOT the ones from Dernacally, their cousins (presumably) from Ardagh, two townlands to the west.  So, if you ever get round to doing St Johnstone, let me know!

What a mammoth effort, Louise. Congratulations!!! I've wandered some old (and abandoned) cemeteries in Tyrone and can vouch for the too often loss of inscriptions due to weathering. About 130 years seems about the limit of legibility with the local sandstone used. Even using some cleaver photography, too many are illegible.

Our son, being an archaeologist, has surveyed several Australian aboriginal rock art and petroglyph sites in Arnham Land, NT, the Flinders Ranges, SA and elsewhere, and recorded the images for posterity. His photographic skills in making the illegible visible are amazing. Even armed with this knowledge, many headstones in Tyrone were still illegible. 🙁

Holly - after enlarging and enhancing the photo, we have agreed it should read 1832. Thanks for pointing this out. We hope you will join our Mailing List.

Have a GREAT Easter
