They will do a bit of a search around dates but that's all I know about it. The other option is www.rootsireland.ie their records don't go much beyond 1900 as most counties but you can check what parents had what children. It is a pay website but that is common for Irish Genealogy at least its non-profit. Annette Code Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
