    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I looked for a baptismal record for Blanche O'Shaughnessy and there were no records in Ireland on the subscription site Roots Ireland and the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie  I looked for her record because she appears to be the only child who may have been born in Ireland and we know her parents names.

     I did not search for Patrick O'Shaughnessy since we have few records back to the late 1700s and even if we located a record, without his parents names, we could not confirm whether it was your ancestor.
