Clooney Graveyard Inscriptions contains and commemorates the information of families buried in this sacred place, many of whom no longer live in the Clooney area.
With almost 200 monuments and over 500 names transcribed with dates going back to the 1700's, this publication is the product of several years' work of transcribing, photographing, and recording the monuments in the old section of Clooney Graveyard. This survey of the old section of the graveyard holds the cherished names of families from the Singleton to the Browne's to the old monuments of the late Denis Duffy 1798 and the Clooney Martyrs.
Clooney Graveyard Inscriptions is part of a growing library, and is just one of the 30 plus books published by the Clare Roots Society. While the graveyard contains many local families from the area, there are also many other families who emigrated and whose descendants often return to remmeber them. It is hoped that this book will assist them with their own family research.
