You could also try emailing some churches in the Dublin City area. I wonder if www.irishgenealogy.ie will be putting catholic records for Dublin City on line - they just put the Church of Ireland records there. Keep my fingers crossed, You could inquire. Maybe he is a leprechaun or a fairy found in the cabbage patch. Honestly I can see why you are frustrated. Annette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
