There are a few on line if you put 'Ireland' in the search box at the top of the tips board and press search you will find a lot of useful Irish sites. Also have you looked on the IGI on the Mormons site familysearch.org - I fould some of my Irish relations there (make sure it gives the reference for the batch numbers etc which means they come from original records - if it says 'submitted by a member of the LDS Church' it means that it is from someone elses records and a lot of them are incorrect. Hope this helps. June
