About This Book
"This unique book lists alphabetically all the tombstones that show at least one name associated with an origin in Ireland. The information for all persons listed on that stone was copied. Information may include place of origin, family relationships, dates of birth and/or death, age, military distinction, place of death, occupation, and fraternal or religious societies. Over 5400 names have been recorded. This book also contains a short history of Holy Cross, a map of the cemetery, articles, and tables concerning the Irish born interred there."
"Not every family buried in Holy Cross has a tombstone; be careful reading relationships, "their children" may also contain cousins, nieces or nephews and not all inscriptions indicate place of birth in Ireland. Numbers after date of death - 45-8-21 - indicate age - 45 yrs, 8 months and 21 days."
