Hello Peter:
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 Peter Coleman M 1839 +/- 2 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1837 Co. Cork.
For Ann Johnson M ditto, I found 0 matching rcds to that for Peter.
For Peter Coleman B 1821 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Louth with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in Collon parish. However, the father's forename for this rcd is John, not Bernard.
For Brian Coleman B ????, Collon parish, Co. Louth, with a father's forename unknown, I found 0 rcds.
For Alice Coleman B ????, Co. Louth, ditto, I found 5 rcds, but the father wasn't Bernard.
For Bri(dget) Coleman B ???? ditto, I found 6 rcds, ditto.
For Bernard Coleman M 1821 +/- 1 yrs, Co. Louth, I found 1 rcd in 1821, Dundalk parish.
For Ann Morgan M ditto, I found ditto.
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.
