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 parish, 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).
Good news and bad news. For the good news, the RC church began rcd'ng Bs for Newport Parish in 1795.
The bad news is the RC church has kept control over these rcds. See Note 3 above. I believe the minimum fee for the primary/secondary search you need is 66 euros.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
