Hello again John, Yes, I found her marriage when I had a quick look at the pilot records yesterday and knew you wouldn't find the parents because they weren't recorded I will write to you privately because if Mary Anne was born in Cork then you could check out the Steffs in Casey, and try a few other sources. There are hundreds of parishes and not all records are extant due to the Four Courts fire in 1922, but there is hope! More soon, Judie, Victoria. P.S We have had some rain! It's wonderful! Hope you are not near the floods. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacko" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 8:28 AM Subject: Re: Parish Records for Cork > Hi Judie, > > Thanks for your message re Co Cork records. > > To answer your question.
