Hello,
I need to order authenticated baptismal certificates for one great grandmother from Killmury (Cork/Ross/Ovens) parish (30 Novembr 1837) and another from Ovens/Aglis (1 March 1853). I have the microfilm numbers.
I can't find where to order them to be mailed, but I will be in Ireland late July. If it is possible, I could go to the churches and ask, but I don't know where they are.
Does anyone know how to do this process?
I appreciate any information.
Thank you.

Eileen:
"Normally" you would contact the two churches to get a baptismal certificate for your two ancestors. What I don't know are the current Covid restrictions and whether the parish offices are open.
The parish web sites are here:

I have e-mailed Dave Whyte who is one of our Ireland Reaching Out partners and asked him to give you assistance with your request.

Dear Roger, Dave, and McCoy,
You found my great grandother, Cate Deasy, at Murragh & Templemartin and I finally found a parish contact, and just received her baptismal record. I am so very grateful to you all for your help.
Bless you. I am so happy!!!
I now have two great grandmothers' births, marriages, and deaths, and I can clearly see their lives. I grew up in their house, so I feel connected.
Thanks again.
