1st generation cemetery

this is a story about finding certain answers in a cemetery that became the burial place for the 1st generation immigrants to physical place. Buried by those who used a certain cemetery, usually associated with a Church. The burial/headstones I found were part of St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in East Arcade Wyoming County NY. To honor those of Irish descent in this cemetery, each stone paid homage to the home parish in Ireland, by having this information a researcher doing a family line will have location in Ireland by tracing the home parish location. One can presume that the names listed are the correct one, or the names used in the old country. Not sure how one would find the information online since my discovery was made through the information found at the Church, that the cemetery was used by the communicants of the Church
