Hi Renee--you might search for your family surname in that Desertmore Parish in the 1827 Tithes and Applotments through the LDS films at familysearch.org. Many RC parish records go back as far as 1810. I do not know about your specific Parish records. Perhaps you can find them in Ireland to research. Good Luck!

MURPHY, born 17 Mar 1816 in the Parish of Desertmore, Co. Cork. I would like to know who his parents were. He emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada about 1852 and later settled in Rock Co. & Dane Co., Wisconsin. He married Catherine MAHONEY, b. 20 May 1820 in Kilcrea, Co. Cork and had 10 children. He died 28 Dec 1900 in Rock Co.,Wisconsin. Are there records available for the 1816 time period so that I could find his parents' names? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Renee __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com ______________________________
