Hello B. Hays:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Co. Donegal and Derry were just added to the database.
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 Thomas Connolly B 1838 +/- 2 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed John, I found 11 rcds: 1836 Galway, 2-1838 Roscommon, 2-1838 Galway, 1838 Dublin, 1838 Limerick, 1838 Meath, 1839 Kilkenny, 1839 Roscommon, and 1840 Galway. None of the Galway B rcds were in Clifden RC parish.
For Bart(XXXX) Connolly B 1838 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1839 Galway, Clifden RC parish.
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.
