Jane First of all I commend you for your HUGE effort to compile and document where the records are: My personal experiences with Irish Parish records include the following: Co. Wexford....I visited the Yola Heritage Center in 1998 after setting up an appointment with a genealogist. I was greeted at the gate stating they were gone for the day, but if I left 50 pounds they would do a search for me. Since I had come a long way.... I left the 50 pounds. Nothing was found. Co. Wexford Library. Celestine Rafferty is to be commended as well as all the staff of the library for their holdings and helpfullness with genealogy research. I came across Brian Cantwells Memorial Inscriptions there. Co. Carlow.... 1999 sent me to Co. Carlow in search of the marriage of Patrick and Bridget Byrnes Kehoe. I visited St. Lazerian's Church, Leighlinbridge, Co Carlow, Ireland after discovering this was the parish of the marriage. This was found by the Co. Carlow Genealogy Research Group , they are personally overseeing the documentation of all Co. Carlow parish records into a computer data base. Training young girls with clerical skills helps to build the parish record index. Then You still have to find the church, bother the priest to look in the books ( only he can look - at ST. Lazerian's) and then plead for copies of what is found and pray the copy machine is working. I was very lucky that day. Jane I'll send you more KEHOE records that I have viewed....
