I have received information from the county Donegal heritage center regarding my Grandfather. The marriage certificate lists the names of both bride and groom, also the names of their fathers and the occupations and locations of same. My question is: Would the church copy of the marriage contain more or different information? Would the baptism cert. contain additional information? What about the death cert.? Thanks again for everyone's help!!!! Fran
Dear Fran, Sometimes the Heritage Center has copies of the church records. If what you have is a civil record, then the answer to your question is yes. You will find more information in the church records. The baptismal record will also have the name of the godparents. The marriage record will have the names of the witnesses.
