Almost 100,000 Cork County Burial Register Records Available Free Online
Cork County Council’s Skibbereen Heritage Centre has uploaded another tranche of previously unavailable burial register records to its online database. This brings the total number of burial records now available on their website www.skibbheritage.com to 97,923 burials, all of which are available to access free of charge from anywhere in the world.
The latest upload features graveyards primarily from North Cork and also includes three graveyards from Bandon in West Cork. In total, the records from 143 graveyards in County Cork are available to the public.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Joe Carroll said,
Mayor
I would like to commend the small team at Skibbereen Heritage Centre, supported by Cork County Council, who have been diligently working on this important digitisation project for several years. It is a huge body of work to have almost 100,000 burial records available online for people in County Cork and across the globe to discover their ancestor’s final resting place.
All of the information is on the Skibbereen Heritage Centre website www.skibbheritage.com including a map of all the sites covered to date as well as a searchable database. The team at Skibbereen Heritage Centre hope to continue this project over the 2025/6 winter period, with the support of Cork County Council, to upload more records next spring.
The graveyards included in the 2025 upload are Abbeyswell (Kilgobnet), Aglish, Araglen (Araglin), Ballyhea, Ballylough, Banteer, Castlemagner, Castletownroche (Kilsane/Kilsone), Clonfert, Conna, Cooline, Drishane, Holycross, St Brigid’s Buttevant, St Lachteen’s Grenagh, St Mary’s Millstreet and three Bandon graveyards, St Peter’s Ballymodan, Kilbrogan and the Old Ballymodan Graveyard.
