In Reply to: Patrick McKenna - Dungannon, Ireland by Keith Goodyer of 1603

Hello Keith:

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 Pat(rick) McKenna B ????, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, with the father's forename unknown, I found 26 rcds - too many to summarize here.

Since you didn't cite a single date, there is a lot of ground to cover. For the 3 names, I went through the alphabet of father's forenames. It looks like the forename Patrick gives the best fit.

Pat(rick) McKenna B 1906
Bri(dget) McKenna B 1904
Elizabeth McKenna B 1902 or 1907

If you withheld info, go to the database, use it, and search on your own.

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.
