Hi Deb:
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 Tho(mas) Conroy B 1828 (exact) somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 5 rcds: Kilkenny, 2-Galway, and 2-Roscommon. The father's forenames were John, Michael, Unknown, Thomas, and Thomas respectively. One of these MAY be for your ancestor - no guarantee. 1828 is very early for Irish rcds, and not all DOB/DOM are known with certainty. You will need an exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, rcd is the right one.
For Tho(mas) Conroy B 1828 +/- 4 yrs ditto, I found 25 rcds. Will leave it to you to find the county, parish, and father's forenames.
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.
