Hi again Linda:
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 James Hayes B 1839 (exact), Co. Limerick with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 rcds. The 1st one is likely for this ancestor. Both father's forenames were Michael. One is in Donoughmore RC parish, the other in Kilmallock. A view of the B rcd SHOULD show the parents' names as well as other info. This is needed to validate the B rcd.
For Michael Hayes M 1835 +/- 4 yrs, Donoughmore parish, Co. Limerick, I found 1 rcd in 1833. This MAY be for James' father.
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.
