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). For John Hogan B 1793 +/- 4 yrs in Cork with the father's forename unknown, I found 2 B rcds: 1794 and 1796. For John Hogan M 1823 +/- 4 yrs in Cork, I found 6 M rcds: 1819, 1822, 1823, 2-1825, and 1826. For Susan Palmer M ditto, I found 0 M rcds. For Susan Palmer B 1801 in Co. Cork with the father's forename unknown, I found 0 B rcds. Since you KNOW these two came from Cork, it may be that their B & M rcds are in the undigitized part. Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg. Hope this helps. Good luck. Notify Administrator about this message?
