Re: Francis Joseph McPARLAND

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.

The closest DOB for a Francis McParland with a father named Patrick is 1892. This MIGHT be your ancestor depending on the accuracy of your info.

B/M/D registration was civil after 1863. These rcds are available at PRONI. Google this to lead you to the its database.

You can also google the Foundation's name to lead you to the IFHF 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.
