Hi Sharon:
Your post was shy on the critical DOB, DOM, placenames etc.
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 surname White in Ireland, I found 17,400 B rcds dating from abt 1716 and 9,299 M rcds dating from 1669. Within these numbers there are 1,047 B and 422 M rcds for "Pat(rick) White."
Judging from the forenames chosen for the children, your Patrick White is several generations removed from his earliest Irish immigrants. You need to use the censuses to go back decade by decade tracing the family until you find where one or more of the children and parents were born in Ireland.
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.
