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 Ju(dith) Keating B 1808 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found only 1 rcd in 1808, St. Mary's parish. Father's forename was Thomas. This rcd may be worth a roll of the dice - but no guarantees.

For Ju(dith) Keating M 1828 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 2 rcds: 1832 Kilkenny, and 1832 Limerick. Cashel is in Co. Tipperary.

For Pat(rick) Dwyer M ditto, I found NO matching rcds to those for Judith.

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.
