Hello B. Hays:
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 Bart() Connelly B before 1860 somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed John, I found 4 rcds: 1831 Cork, 1839 Galway, 1844 Cork, and 1857 Kildare.
For Tho(mas) Connelly B 1848 +/- 4 yrs Kildare, Cork, and Galway, dotto, I found 5 rcds: 2-1844 Galway, 1845 Galway, 1847 Galway, and 1851 Cork. Will leave it to you to scour through the parishes in these two counties to see if there are a Thomas and Bart(holomew) born in the same parish. This is tedious.
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.
