Hi Maggie:
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).
You need forenames, DOB, DOM, etc.
For the surname Kilmurray in Co. Longford, there are 47 B rcds dating from 1826 and 17 M rcds dating from 1831.
Corneddan is a 440 acre townland in Co. Longford. The RC parish is Killoe. There are NO Kilmurray B or M rcds in this parish.
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.
