    1. [Cork] Boherbue RC records online
    2. TOM GLASSEL
    3. [To Dorothy Nest] Lots of us wish we had Boherbue to research. Some of the Boherbue RC christenings (1833 to 1875) are online via the FHC (Family History Center) website. Just go to the IGI part of the site: <http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp> Do a custom IGI search for your particular family by putting in these terms: [Father] Eugene; [last name] Sullivan; [First Name< *Important: leave this blank*; [Last Name] Sullivan; [Mother] Julia; [Last Name] Leary; *Important: leave the next 5 spaces blank*> [Spouse; Last Name; Event; Year Range; Year]; [Region] British Isles; [Country] Ireland; [County] Cork; [Batch Number] C700771 (Note: the C must be capitalized or it won't work) *Important: leave the next 2 spaces blank*> [Serial/Sheet Number; Film Number] *Also, do not check the "Use Exact Spelling" box. What should turn up are the 3 children you listed, plus 2 more born in the 1850's. The above strategy is just a fun shortcut for some of the lengthier records in Casey. The only Boberbue RC marriages online are for 1863 to 1880 (Use just one surname in the main blank, plus M700771). For later marriages (amazingly, some as late as 1947), the names of bapt & mar witnesses, and local place names (probably residences?) within the Boherbue parish, you will still need to go to Casey, Vols. 2, 11, and 14. I noticed that with your particular surnames, the IGI didn't give the same results for O Sullivan, O'Sullivan, or for OSullivan as it did for Sullivan. I wasn't expecting that to happen. One more thing for all of us to watch out for... Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions, Barb Glassel
