Helen Went to IFHF.com and that's it! ;o) However, I don't see how to get the parishes. I do see the parishes on the Tipperary page. I don't know the url for the Cork page. Do you have it? Ellen Kelly's father was Patrick Kelly and her mother Mary Kehoe. Both surnames have numerous variants and all forenames were perhaps found in most families in Ireland at the time. thanks. judy ________________________________ From: Helen <[email protected]> To: Judy Picard <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 2:47:36 PM Subject: Re: Irish B-M-D site Judy, I think you're talking about the IFHF site. I recently discovered a branch of my family using the site. You need to be real careful on that site. If you know Ellen Kiely's fathers forename use that to narrow your choices. I then go through each RC or CI parish depending on your religion in the county using the names to narrow it to a parish. If I know the mother's name I look for a marriage or baptism in that parish. I found a family in Cork that fit the age and father's name of mine in the townland of Aghada. I decided to get the baptism hoping the mother's name would ring a bell, it did not. Curiosity got the best of me and I got the whole family of Ellen Clancy and James Sweeney. I then got a baptism for James Sweeney and Ellen Clancy and from there got James' and Ellen's parents. All that sounds wonderful but how can I be sure it's me? I have some great data on Clancy and Sweeney families in the Aghada area and I'm not 100% sure . 2/3'rds of Cork is a big area, I'm sure there is another Edmund Sweeney born to a James circa 1825 in Cork. I have lots of records on Clancy's ,Sweeney's and a new name cropped up"Sisk". I'd be happy to pass it all along, all from the Mallow Centre. I did get great data from Tipp. that I'm totally sure is mine. \ I learned a valuable lesson about clicking happily away in my searches. 5 Euro is abt. $7, when I got the bill I saw the light. I spent far too much for records that might not be my ancestors. I'd be happy to share anything I have on the surnames I mentioned.

Judy, You need to spend time if your suranmes and forenames are common. I play around with years, siblings names, etc.. Marriages are easy if you find the same year for a Patrick Kelly and Mary Kehoe a parish will be easy. You can get to this by clicking on the county also but here's the link: http://corknortheast.brsgenealogy.com/ Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Picard To: [email protected] Cc: Helen Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 3:04 PM Subject: Re: Irish B-M-D site Helen Went to IFHF.com and that's it! ;o) However, I don't see how to get the parishes.
