Cumberland County, Pennsylvania Quarter Session Dockets 1750-1785

This work is a prodigious collection in excess of 15,000 gravestone transcriptions The transcriptions are arranged by cemetery, each of which is named in conjunction with the town or village in Vermont where it can be found. For each Irish deceased individual virtually all of the following information is given: name of the deceased, date of birth or age at death, date of death, cemetery code number, and name of spouse or other person possibly related to the deceased. In a number of cases, the inscriptions also disclose the deceased's county of birth in Ireland, military service, parents' names, etc. Preceding the text of Vermont tombstones is a helpful series of sketches of Catholic parishes in Vermont at the time of the Famine, while at the conclusion researchers will find with a key to cemeteries, giving the town, the year(s) the church and cemetery were dedicated, year of first burial, and ethnic origin of the interred; a bibliography; and two indexes, one to Vermont Catholic parishes and the other, larger index, to the deceased.
