Fahy Family Ballindeerren Kinvara

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

Again, you should be able to find information on the family prior to 1865 in Church records. Civil registration did not begin in Ireland until 1864, so births, marriages etc. before this date were only recorded in parish registers. To see what Catholic records are available from Kinvara parish follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Galway&CityCounty=East%20Galway&parish=Kinvara&churchid=632

If the family followed the Church of Ireland, you can see what registers are available here: http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. 

As I mentioned in my previous response to you, you should also try www.familysearch.org

 You may also find record of the family in the two land acts pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century:

The tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
