Hi Sandra:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,700,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% 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 30%.
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 Jacob Malcolm B 1863 +/- 4 yrs, Donegal district, Co. Donegal with a father forenamed William, I found 1 rcd in 1866.
For Cat(herine) Malcolm B ????, Donegal district, Co. Donegal with a father forenamed William, I found 0 rcds. There are 3 rcds for this name in 1880, 1880, and 1910, but none are in Donegal CR district.
For sibling Malcolms B ????, Donegal CR district, Co. Donegal with a father forenamed William, I found 0 rcds.
For Wil(liam) Malcolm M 1859 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Donegal, I found 2 rcds, 1859, both in Donegal CR district.
For Mary White M ditto, I found 3 rcds, 1859, Co. Donegal CR district.
Some of the above are likely for your ancestors. You will have to view the detailed rcds to see which, if any, match. If so the matches are HIGHLY likely to be for your ancestors. The matched rcds will likely show their parent's names as well as other info.
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.
