Hi Bonnie:
You need the standard genealogy information: forename, last name, DOB, DOM, DOD place of birth, place of marriage, and place of death. Usually the best places to get this info are: censuses, naturalization papers, civil records, church records, et. The 1860 U.S. census for Philadelphia is a logical starting point.
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 Kehoe there are 9,599 B rcds dating from 1694 and 2,879 M rcds dating from 1719. These numbers will likely increase as more rcds are added to the database.
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.
