I have received a transcription of several ancestors buried in Drumbeg Church cemetary. However, I don't know what the term "Anno Dom" means. Could someone please explain this for me. |

It just means "in the year of Our Lord" - so it is just giving you the year of death. It is short for the Latin "Anno Domini". |

I must admit Jonesey that I thought the same about the word "relic". I too thought it was probably relict as I have seen that inscribed on some of my own family headstones. |

Kathleen & Jonesey...I've seen it spelled both ways over here in some of the records. There were a lot of misspelled words in the earlier records. lol. I'll have to search down some and let you see sometime. |
