Manx Cemetery Records, Burial Registers and Monumental Inscriptions, Manx National Heritage, Sources for Family History, reports:

"The Isle of Man Family History Society (IOMFHS) have transcribed entries from the original parish registers. They have completed the monumental inscriptions and burial registers, which are arranged by parish and indexed. These indexes are available on request at the Library counter. Partial indexes to burials, prepared by Brian Lawson, are on the IOMFHSwebsite. The Isle of Man Government has commissioned an inventory of war memorials, details of which can be obtained from the Library. "

The Isle of Man Family History Society reports:

"The society also publishes a number of books containing:

Monumental Inscriptions

Burial Records from Parish Registers

Census for 1851 and 1861

The burial records from parish records are now available on CDs. The content is the same as the books."
