My wife's great grandmother was, we believe, born in County Clare on, we believe, Dec 25, 1827. How difficult would it be to trace her when we go visit there without going through (paying for) one of the "services" that trace ancestors. My though would be to go to each parish in the county to look at records. Possible? Other choices? Similar, the great grandfather from County Mayo assuming Mayo is not on the sandwich :-) JohnP
