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 Dan(iel) McGinty B 1810, the earliest rcd is for 1839 in Longford. For Dan(iel) McGinty M 1825 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 2 rcd in 1826 Longford - these 2 may be duplicates. For Mary LaVelle M ditto, I found 7 rcds, but none in Longford. For Dan(iel) McGinty M 1833 ditto, I found 0 rcds. For Julia McLoughlin B 1812 ditto, with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds. 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.
