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 parish, 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 Mich(ael) Cahill B 1803 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 12 B rcds. For Mary Murray B 1813-1814, I found 28 B rcds. For Mich(ael) Cahill M 1852-1853 somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in Craigavon parish. For Mary Murray M ditto, I found 37 rcds, 1 in Craigavon parish. A view of the B & M rcds MAY reveal details of their parents, residences and origins. 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. Notify Administrator about this message?
