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 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 James Logan B 1844 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 12 rcds: 1840 ARM, 1842 ROS, 2-1842 ANT, 1842 MEA, 1845 LEI, 2-1845 ANT, 1846 CAV, 1846 ROS, & 2-1848 ANT.

Co. Donegal rcds aren't in this database yet. Suggest you wait until they are B4 searching further. This may take time.

For Mary Tobin B 1867 ditto, I found 92 rcds with 28 in Kilkenny - too many to list here.

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.
