I agree with Dave that the Kabristan bookshop books / pdfs are very useful having had the ones for County Leitrim for many years as they have helped to confirm & add to the research for my Wife’s Ancestors as they had a large presence in that County.
Another very useful resource is www.igp-wweb.com <http://www.igp-wweb.com> which has listings with photos of many graveyards. The link for Tyrone is: https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tyrone/photos/tombstones/markers.htm Peter From: Dave Vanable via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 29, 2023 9:36 PM To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Vanable <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: CTI Mailing List Query There are some e-books that can be purchased where people have transcribed various graveyards... I had several "good hits" which have later been proven accurate via picture sent to me. The e-book I purchased is for County Leitrim, though I see many other counties including Tyrone listed: https://kabristanbookshop.com/product/ireland-publications/county-leitrim-burials-from-1760-part-3-pdf-format/ I don't know if there are other sources for this data, I purchased this (only £5!) early in my genealogy work. Based on a quick search I do see a link here which lists MANY graveyards by county, and indicates whether published online or not (change the county name in the URL if you want something different, or just use the site search): https://www.johngrenham.com/records/county_graveyards.php?search_type=full <https://www.johngrenham.com/records/county_graveyards.php?search_type=full&county=Tyrone> &county=Tyrone Ideally some of this is useful!

It also mentions that a new church was built between 1860 – 1863 after which the old church became the Manse (ie the Minister’s home). I would guess therefore that the graveyard does go back earlier than 1845. Presbyterians generally didn’t keep burial records so there are unlikely to be any paper records for who is buried there. You just have to hope there’s a legible gravestone. You could try writing to the Minister to see if anyone has ever transcribed them or if he knows of a grave for your family. Otherwise you may just have to pay a researcher to go and look. Not every Minister replies to these enquiries. Some get rather more genealogical enquiries than they feel able to deal with. On the other hand some are very obliging.

I know the records for the Drumquin Presbyterian church only go back to 1845, but does the graveyard go back further? How can I check?
