I am looking for any information pertaining to Michael Coleman from Ballyraggan. He married Anne Flinter in Baltinglass on June 6, 1847. They had at least one child William who was baptised in Baltinglass on March 9, 1848. I would appreciate any information especially relatives.
Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Castledermot is a Civil Parish in Co. Kildare:
Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Castledermot begin in 1789. Records for Baltinglass begin in 1807, though there are some missing in the series. There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
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.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However, so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.
Other important sources include the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation. Even though these sources only record the head of the household, the information is very important and can be valuable:
Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1837): http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp
Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864): http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too, for instances of the family name at that time
Remember to post any new information that you find here. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Best of luck with your search

I guess I could've been more clear. I'm wondering if there are any living relatives still in the area or elsewhere? thank you.
