Hello
I am still searching for the parents of any info on Michl Fitzgerald and Mary Barrett. I know their son was baptised in Aughrim on the 8/12/1855, but I no info on Michl and Mary. I have the family history from Michl and Mary but nothing before.
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards
Sam

RootsIreland. Maybe death record. I know you stated you know all about Michael and Marys' family. Sometimes you need a base line which helps volunteers to go back.

Sam,
I use Ancestry.com (paid), RootsIreland (paid), Irishgenealogy (free government sponsored, civil and some church records), Historicgraves (free), National Archives Census of Ireland (free), Griffith Valuation and Tithe Applotment land records (free), Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI (free), and sometimes I just research surnames with placenames on the internet.
