HISTORIC GRAVES | THE ON-LINE GRAVES AND GRAVEYARDS FINDER

May be of interest:

http://www.historicgraves.ie/

There are a number of counties in this site, inc Cork, Kilkenny  and Waterford with a selection of graveyards from those counties. In the one graveyard I "visited" there were only a few inscriptions indexed but you could zoom in on even a very hard to read stone.

FOOTNOTE: 

This is a great site. Be sure to read the terms and conditions and respect them. Access is free, as this a community effort, something many of you are also involved in. I would suggest that you make yourself a cuppa and delve to your heart's content. There are a limited number of graveyards as yet, but many more to come. There are some very interesting blogs, also stories about certain areas and a map that shows you where they have covered so far. Cemetery details are quite precise, so well worth copying down if you are lucky enough to not only find a grave that you were seeking, but perhaps able to go actually look for it.

 We are very fortunate to have so much available to all of us through the work of volunteers.

 Here are just a few other sites of graveyard photos...
