Hello List, This is rather off base - still genealogy though - but am hoping that a kind soul on this list can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to research a family line in County Cork, Ireland from about 1740 to 1820/1821 when they left and landed in Massachusetts. I live in the United States and subscribe to Ancestry, but they are only showing records for Northern Ireland. Nothing in County Cork. Does anyone on the list know when Birth/Marriage/Death records began in County Cork and where to look? Anyone have a clue why only Northern Ireland records of the era I'm researching are listed? Thank-you for your help, Lilly By the by, would be happy to do look-ups in the U.S. for those in need.

Hi Lilly Basically, Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Eire (Southern Ireland) isn't - it's a separate country! If you google family history ireland, you will find lots of sites If you don't already belong, I would also recommend joining (free) www.rootschat.com which has lots of advice and some really helpful members Good luck with searching in Ireland!

Hi Lilly You will find Ireland a whole new ball game I would suggest subscribing to a list for Cork and or Ireland and asking there See http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Select mailing lists from the top bar menu Entering Cork finds several options, these look to be the most likely http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/IRL/CountyCork.html or http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/IRL-CORK/ You might try the same for Ireland for a more general list A good starting point for Irish research http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/ Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello List, > This is rather off base - still genealogy though - but am hoping that a > kind soul on this list can point me in the right direction.
