Thank you Roger!

perrystreeter,

The legible graves in St Mary’s are listed on the Causeway Coast & Glens Family History site: http://colerainefhs.org.uk

Thank you for the reply.

It was exciting to learn that “Graveyard inscriptions are free access and available to all by clicking the respective link.” On the list of Graveyard Inscriptions, I found a number of Roman Catholic Churches from the Causeway Coast and Glens, including “Culfeightrin Roman Catholic” at:

However, this pertains to the Roman Catholic Parish of Culfeightrin, which is much smaller than the Civil Parish of Culfeightrin.

The Roman Catholic Chapel of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church, in Coolranny Townland, is in the *Civil* Parish of Culfeightrin but it is in the *Roman Catholic* Parish of Cushendun:

Confusing, eh? Imagine how we American descendants feel—LOL!

So the question remains open…

Has anyone ever created a full or summary transcription of the markers for the small cemetery behind St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church?

Thank again for your help!

Perrystreeter,

I am sorry that this was not the graveyard you are interested in.  I have searched on-line (as presumably you have too). It doesn’t appear that the transcriptions are on-line anywhere. Perhaps your only alternative is to get a local researcher to go and look at them for you, or you might want to make a personal visit which you might find rewarding in its own right.
