Hi Marla:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
For Mat(hew) Brophy B 1827 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 8 rcds: 1824 Kilkenny, 1825 Dublin, 1826 Kilkenny, 2-1829 Kilkenny, and 3-1831 Kilkenny.
You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, rcd is for your ancestor. Try the 1850 U.S. census. When you find the correct rcd, this will reveal the parish. With that info, you can search for B rcds for siblings.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
