Ron, Skeagh is partly in two Civil Parishes, Abbestowry and Schull (Skull). The Roman Catholic Parishes in Abbestowry are Creagh, which has Baptism records from 1814 and Marriage records from 1837, and Caheragh, which has B & M records from 1818. Both are in the Dioceses of Cork and Ross. The RC Parish of Schull has B records from 1807 and M records from 1809. All these records are held locally (only the Diocese of Cloyne has records at the Mallow Heritage Center), but they are on microfilm at the National Library of Ireland. You can try the Cork/Ross Diocesan site at <http://www.corkandross.org> for links to the parishes and contact information. Some researchers have had luck at the local level. Otherwise, the alternatives are a trip to Dublin (not a bad choice!) or hiring a professional researcher (see <http://www.apgi.ie>)> Good luck, David Collins Hudson, MA, USA [email protected] wrote: Today's Topics: 2.
