  • Dear Ron:

    Thank you for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the site!

    I have found several Baptism records for some of the McEvoy children of Kilmoroney and they are listed in the Roman Catholic registers for Athy.  I have copied  them for your reference.  These records are available through the Roots Ireland database.  Unfortunately, the registers are not listed as being part of the National Library of Ireland parish registers, so an original transcription is not available online.
