Looking for a stone for my G. Grandmother Mary Burns Lanigan~~~At least the plot would be great. I would think she is buried close to the WHELAN & WHALAN burial sites. Also can't find her husband John Lanigan. Was told that some files were destroyed due to a fire. There is a death notice at the courthouse.
