Hi
Thank you for your message.
The reality of finding supporting documentation for births/deaths/marriages in Ireland prior to the 19th century may be that they do not exist. Most parish records begin circa 1800 and civil registration records only date from 1864. However- you can Browse information concerning various resources for counties at http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/
