Hi Bonnie:
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 the Name Saunders, there are NO M rcds for this name combination anywhere in Ireland for anydate.
For James McDonald B 1827 +/- 2 yrs in Meath or Westmeath with the father's forename unknown, I found 3 rcds in Westmeath only: 2-1827, and 1829. Father's forenames were James, Edward, and Denis respectively. Parishes were Ballyloughloe and 2-Tubber & Rosemount.
For Mary O'Briend M 1820 +/- 4 yrs in Meath or Westmeath, I found 10 rcds: 1816 MEA, 2-1817 MEA, 2-1819 MEA, 2-1820 WSM, 1821 MEA, 1822 WSM, and 1824 MEA.
For ???? McDonald M ditto, I found only 2 rcds: Michael 1820 WSM, and Henry 1823 MEA.
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.
