Thank you for this Elizabeth, I will give it a whirl! Best wishes, Caroline -----Original Message----- From: knowltonew@earthlink.net [mailto:knowltonew@earthlink.net] Sent: 11 September 2010 23:06 To: irl-cork@rootsweb.com Subject: Daunts of Cork city, Church of Ireland records Caroline, I have been researching since 1986 and have found the most productive method for researching C of I ancestors in Cork city is to avail yourself of the Cobh Genealogical Project Address; The Director, Cobh Genealogical Project, Merville, Cobh, Co. Cork. Telephone (021) 4811363 E-mail: mervillecobh@eircom.net There is a fee for this, but over a few years of ordering searches I took my McCarty line and others back from 1850s to the 18th century. Elizabeth >1. It seems my ancestor Howard Gillman Daunt, C most likely born in Cork City in around 1810, and, if not Dublin, and C of I. From the web links I've heard of so far, mostly from this brilliant list, it seems that all Cork City parish records for that time have been destroyed. Or is that wrong? Can anyone point me to a way of finding out what parish records are available in Ireland? At some point I will come over, but I want to find the best place to go, and avoid searching through records that have already been transcribed and are on the online sites, and make effective use of the short time available.
