In Reply to: Mary O'Meara Tipp and John Hartigan Limerick by sinead winters of 1083

I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.

Note 1 - Without a KNOWN parish, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.

Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.

Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).

For Mary O'Hartigan B 1899 +/- 4 yrs in Co. Tipperary with a father forenamed Michael, I found 0 B rcds. The closest to your timeline is in 1885.

All of the sibling names you listed are dimmunitives of their proper name.

For James Hartigan B ???? ditto, I found 1 rcd in 1887.

For William " B ???? ditto, I found 2 rcds in 1879.

For Jassie " B ???? ditto, I found 0 rcds.

For Ellen " B ???? ditto, I found 4 rcds: 1870, 2-1879, and 1901.

For John Hartigan M ????, I found 1 potential rcd in 1883.

For Mary O'Meara M 1883 (exact), I found 5 rcds.

For John O'Meara M 1860 +/- 4 yrs somewhere in Ireland, I found 34 rcds - too many to list here.

For Catherine O'Rourke M ditto, I found 32 rcds. Will let you try to match these 1st for the same yr/cnty, and 2nd by parish within the matches from 1st.

Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
