Desperately needed advice my ancestor Christopher Connolly was reported to have been born in Meath county in and around 1825 1829 by a Thomas and Julia Connolly there was no townland or parish ever mentioned other possible siblings include John,Thomas,Patrick, and possibly Bridget is there a way to research the entire family I am not certain that Meath county is their original county other then Christopher was reported to have been from here

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland for Co. Meath Christopher Connolly baptismal records.The only record I located was in 1826, however, the father was Patrick not Thomas. Also, the only sibling record I could find was for a James born in 1829.

Curious that you should mention the name James that is a name that has been carried down 4 generations by our family I am suspecting that the others were his aunts and uncles that followed him to America nothing is certain so little was passed on about the family the date of birth coincides with his age at the time of disembarking from the ship at Boston I want to thank you for taking the time and resources to help me as I have found out it may or may not be what I am looking for but it's a possible start
I. Wonder if John Patrick Thomas and Bridget could have been aunts and uncles to Christopher then
