'Tracing Your Cork Ancestors' (Tony McCarthy and Tim Cadagon) gives lists of both Civil and Catholic Parishes in Conty Cork. 'A Table of Church of Ireland Parochial Records and Copies' published by The Irish Family History Society gives a complete list if C of I Parishes. Of course, Samuel Lewis' 'A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland' indicates all parishes provided you have the time to locate and extract the information. I know you are acquainted with all of the above but perhaps others might benefit. 0934MST 23 November 2002. John Myers
