I am searching for my Great grandfather, Patrick Forde, and a few siblings. Parents Patrick Forde and Ann Loughnane. I found birth dates for Bernard, Catherine, Martin, Delia(Bridget). Can not find any information for John, Patrick, Mary A.
Patrick stated on US Declaration for citizenship, his birth date is 3/15/1861.He and Catherine and Mary, along with Delia, I know moved to USA.. Any help appreciated.

Patrick Forde and Anne Loughnane were married February 28 1858 at the Cappataggle RC parish.
Civil registration of births started in 1864.
Likely John, Patrick and Mary were baptized before 1864 in a parish which no longer has baptismal records for 1858-1863. Both Cappataggle and Kilchreest have records for that period. Could be a parish like Kiltullagh where records start in 1884.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you Roger. Can I contact Cappataggle and Kilchreest for records?

I think you misunderstood my comment. I was pointing out that Cappataggle and Kilchreest parishes have baptismal records for the period 1858-1864 so if the Forde children were baptized in one of those two churches, the records would be on Roots Ireland. Since we could not find records for John, Patrick and Mary they were likely baptized in a parish that no longer has records for 1858-1864.

I understand Roger. Thank you for your assistance.
