Researching Flynn

Hi Ruth,

Thank you very much for your message.

It will be much easier to find information if you can narrow down place of origin to a parish, as most record sources are based on parish divisions.

Have you tried:

 

Looking online at:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

Do you know the name of Daniel?s father or any siblings he may have had in Ireland? If you do, you could try searching for them in Griffith?s Valuation. This is a property valuation survey carried out in Ireland 1848-64. Although it doesn?t offer any genealogical information it can sometimes be used to tie a person to a specific place. Here is the link:
