Gravestone inscriptions are
a wonderful source of information for both the local historian and for
the genealogist.
County Down was
chosen as the initial area of research for a series of books
entitled 'Gravestone Inscriptions, under the aegis of the Ulster
Historical Foundation. All gravestones having a date of death
prior to 1865 have been copied completely; where practicable, stones
containing dates prior to 1900 have been included and, in very small
cemeteries, all headstone inscriptions have been transcribed. Further
information on this project is available at
PRONI.

McCarthy also has some gravestone inscriptions from Co. Down at:
