In Reply to: Heaslip's in Kingston, Ontario by Nora McLean of 4449

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 sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.

Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, 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 the Heaslip surname, there are 342 B rcds dating from 1708 and 223 M rcds dating from 1798. The paucity of rcds and sound of the name suggest it is a transplant from either England or Scotland. In this database, there are NO Frank Heaslip Birth/Baptisms, or marriages.

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.
