Hello Marian:
I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.
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).
Note 4 - Microfilms of parish church rcds are kept by the National Library of Ireland (NLI).
For Bernard Lynch B 1847 +/- 1 yr, Co. Tyrone, with the father's forename unknown, I found 1 rcd in 1847, Errigal Kieran RC parish. Father's forename was Felix.
For James Lynch B 1849 ditto, I found 1 rcd, 1849, Errigal Kieran RC parish. Father's forename was also Felix. These are almost certainly for your people.
POSSIBLE siblings and DOB are Catherine 1838, Ellen 1840, Eugene 1854, Felix 1857, Hugh 1845, John 1842, Mary 1838, Margaret, 1844, and Patrick 1852.
For Felix Lynch M 1834 +/- 4 yrs, I found 0 rcds. This infers the M rcd either didn't survive, or hasn't been transcribed.
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.
