Congatulations to Glasnevin Cemetery and Museum

Glasnevin Cemetery and Museum receives Entertainment Award

The THEA award was announced at a glittering ceremony in Los Angeles yesterday and makes Glasnevin the first cemetery to be rewarded for excellence in creating a compelling educational, historical and entertainment project. Previous recipients of the award include Madame Tussauds, London, and the Abraham Lincoln Museum, Illinois.

Glasnevin is best known as Ireland's 'national' necropolis. It was founded in 1832 by the Liberator himself, Daniel O'Connell, as the island's first non-denominational cemetery and, with its 1.2million inhabitants, now covers 124 acres. As the last resting place of Ireland's great and good, it has long been a popular place for locals and visitors to stroll and reflect. 

Less than a year after opening its doors, Glasnevin Museum has earned a firm place on the tourism and genealogy trail. It is also home to the Glasnevin Archives which contain the indexed registers of every burial or cremation to have taken place there. These are now available online at the Glasnevin Trust website.

How big is genealogy?

Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates has been working on a project called "Faces in America," using genealogy and DNA testing to track the shared American experience. NBC is working on a new genealogy show, too, using celebrities to tell the story. But it's not just celebrities and professors that think genealogy is cool.
