In Reply to: Jeremiah O'Sullivan - Dromtarriff, Ireland by Daniel Sullivan of 241

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).

Dromtarriff is in Co. Cork.

For Jeremiah O'Sullivan B 1838 (exact) in Co. Cork with the father's forename unknown, I found 12 rcds. Your known DDMMYY DOB should allow you to pick the right rcd. It is likely the 9th one in the list.

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.
