Hi you can also go to "babel fish" for a translation. Hope this helps. It covers all languages.

To: ny-irish@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, June 28, 2009, 6:50 AM Hi Clare, Just curious how you translated "Flyercate" to Fitzgerald. There are  FitzGeralds in the area so that wouldn't be a surprise but surnames generally  weren't converted to latin. I'm not so sure about Joanne being Joan. It could be  John. It wasn't uncommon in that area to have two men as witnesses to a  marriage. Do you know what townlands your ancestors are from? My husband's FitzGerald line was from the area. Should I mention his great great grandfather was John  FitzGerald? Nora Hopkins FitzGerald In a message dated 6/28/2009 3:08:20 A.M.

I am very excited because I wrote to the pastor of an old church  in Kilfinane, Limerick and asked about obtaining a copy of the wedding  record for my great-great-grandparents, who were married in 1838. He sent  me a copy and it arrived today and I am moved to tears. It's in Latin,  and I understand some of it but not all. FYI, the priest was Reverend John  Bourke and the witnesses were Cornelius Flanagan and Joan Fitzgerald.  Here's the Latin text. Some of it was hard to read so please pardon any  spelling errors. "In matrimonio canonice conjuncti sunt a Rev. Bourke  Mauritius Higgins & Catherine Flanagan coram Cornelio Flanagan Joanne  Flyercate cum multis alies." I know this much: Maurice Higgins and  Catherine Flanagan were joined in holy matrimony by Reverend J. Bourke, but  what does the rest say?  Gratias.
