After finding one of mine came from Ireland started looking in earnest for any clues, got really excited when I found one census showed Queenstown and another Dublin until someone kindly deflated my balloon by telling me Queenstown wasn't a district of Dublin now I've got to look in two places lol

Both of my sides of the family are irish and my head is sore from banging it against the brick wall! Some sites you might find of use: https://www(.)irishgenealogy(.)ie/csi/all_counties/csi(.)cfm Webiste that shows some of the records that some of the research centres hold. It will not show you the actual record but may give a lead and in some instances can request the documentation for a fee. Can recomend Leitrim and Mayo research centres as both responded to me with a copy of the certificates within 7 days of the request http://www(.)cmcrp(.)net/index(.)php A search engine where individuals are listing their BMD's. It does not cover every county but you might get lucky. Enter the surname in the CMC search box and it will indicate the counties that it has some records for. http://www(.)censusfinder(.)com/ireland(.)htm A website with an assortment of info however you need an indication of the county to be able to search it properly http://www.from-ireland.net/gene/district.htm A list of some BMD's but again you really need to know the registration district. Unfortunately its a bit hit and miss with some of the irish information. There are some websites out there but the data is far from complete. Best of luck Karen

Thanks for those web addresses Karen. I'll cut and paste them for later. Jan

Me too Karen....will give them a try. Thanks. Gerri... personally had no luck on Ireland Old News site but anything is worth a try. Sue
