Hi Sue,

Contact them, and see what is available.

You should also remember, that a lot of Irish records were destroyed between the years of 1916-1923 during the 'uprising' and civil war.
They are being reconstructed using church records, so keep at it.

Hi

These sites are fascinating and I know I'll spend hours searching through them. However, I've tried the ifhf site numerous times before and unfortunately I have very popular Irish names, which doesn't help to narrow down the search for viewing...

Brilliant for people with less popular names though I would have thought.
