Kennedy gravestone survey summary
as of September 21st 2009
Copyright © 2007-2009 Iain Kennedy This is a summary count of the number of gravestones bearing the Kennedy surname found so far. All of these stones have been digitally photographed. Scottish gravestone counts include stones with just a Kennedy maiden name. English and Irish stones rarely give maiden names, so the counts are not directly comparable. If you are looking for a Kennedy ancestor gravestone, contact me to see if it has been located. If the cemetery of interest has not been surveyed, again contact me and I will add it to the list for visiting. I include zero count visits, these illustrate blank spots in Kennedy surname distribution and may also save researchers a wasted trip.
