I searched 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 John Flynn B 1862 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with a father's name unknown, I found 21 B rcds - too many to list here. For Pat(rick) Flynn B 1871 ditto, I found 71 B rcds. Will let you visit the database and try to see if there are matches for John and Patrick's name in the same county and parish. If so, there is a good chance you have found a sibling relationship. If so, a view of the B rcds SHOULD list the same parents' names. 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?
