In Reply to: Curley Family From Tuam, Galway by Debbie Bert of 1158

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 Hugh Curley B 1795 +/- 1 yr in Tuam, Galway, with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds. There are no rcds for this name at anydate in Tuam, or in all Galway.

For Thomas Curley B 1827 +/- 4 yrs in Galway, I found 1 rcd in 1828, but the father's forename is John. It doesn't look like the rcds for this event survived.

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.
