Roscommon County Council gets a lot of queries from people trying to find out where their relatives are buried and asking for information on historic graveyards around the county. In response to this, we have developed an online Cemeteries Mapviewer which we hope will assist people.
www.roscommoncoco.ie/cemeteries is a central point for information on all cemeteries in County Roscommon. It will tell you: where each cemetery is; who owns it; if it is protected under the National Monuments Acts or not; if there are protected structures in it or not; if there is a register of burials for it and where you can access it; if there is any information about it - archaeological survey, historical article, conservation report etc.; if it has been recorded; and where its inscriptions can be accessed. The cemeteries mapviewer was funded by the Heritage Council as an action of the County Roscommon Heritage Plan 2017-2021.
For National Heritage Week 2020, Roscommon County Council present a ‘Demo of Roscommon Cemeteries Mapviewer’. This short video takes you through where to find the Cemeteries Mapviewer on the Roscommon County Council website and how to use it. It shows you the information, associated weblinks and documents that might be available for a cemetery and which can be linked into the mapviewer.
We are delighted to promote this new online resource. We welcome new information that we can add to the cemeteries mapviewer. If you have information that could be added to or linked to www.roscommoncoco.ie/cemeteries please email heritage@roscommoncoco.ie.
