Hi Nicole:
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 Tim(othy) B 1870 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 4 rcds: 1869 Galway, 2-1869 Mayo, and 1872 Leitrim. Tuam is in Co. Galway west. The 1869 Galway rcd is in Athenry civil parish, Galway east. The father's forename was James.
For Mich(ael) Gannon B ????, Athenry CP, Galway east, I found 4 rcds: 1865, 1875, 1881 and 1896. Only the 1881 rcd has a father forenamed James.
The above results MAY be rcds for these ancestors - no guarantee. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, are the right ones.
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.
