Hello Patricia:
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).
Note 4 - The National Library of Ireland (NLI) has microfilms of parish church rcds.
For Daniel Paul Doran B 1875 +/- 4 yrs, Strabane RD, Co. Tyrone, with a father forenamed Peter, I found 1 rcd, 1875.
For Peter, Pat(rick), and John ditto, I found 0 rcds either in Strabane, or the rest of Tyrone.
For Peter Doran M 1871 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Tyrone, I found 3 rcds: 1867 Strabane RD, 1871 Dungannon RD, and 1871 Errigal RC parish.
For Peter Doran B 1842 +/- 4 yrs, Co. Tyrone, with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 church rcds: 1844 Killeshill and 1849 Aghaloo RC parishes. Father's forenames were both John.
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.
