Aha! You have a county - Cork. That is more than most. Now you will need to find the names of your immigrant ancestors. Best to start by looking at U.S. census rcds. Once you find a set of your Lynch ancestors with the notation "born in Ireland" and their ages, you can jump back to Ireland.
I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparce B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Without a known county, the chance that your ancestors are in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
For the Lynch surname, there are 4,413 B rcds dating from 1716 and 1,761 M rcds dating from 1736. Names, dates, and placenames are essential.
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.
