Hi Jeanetta:
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).
For John Begley B 1856 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland with a father forenamed Thomas, I found 1 rcd in 1855, Co. Limerick, St. Munchin's RC parish. A view of the detailed rcd SHOULD reveal both parent's names as well as other info.
For Tho(mas) Begley M 1855 +/- 1 yr somewhere in Ireland, I found 1 rcd in 1854, Co. Limerick. The parish was also St. Munchin's RC. A view of the detailed rcd SHOULD show their parents' names as well as other info. This will help identify earlier generation's genealogical info and rcds.
For Tho(mas) Begley B 1835 ditto, with the father's forename unknown, I found 9 rcds: 2-1831 Longford, 1831 Limerick, 1832 Armagh, 1833 Kildare, 1834 Cork, 1836 Cork, 1839 Cork, and 1839 Louth. You will need an exact DOB parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to let you pick which, if any, rcd is for this ancestor.
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.
