Good Afternoon

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message. I hope you are looking forward to your trip to Ireland.

As you can see from the link below, Kinsale Town is in the Civil Parish of Ringcurran, Co. Cork:

Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Kinsale begin in 1805 for baptisms and 1828 for marriages. There are some places where you can search online for Cornelius, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However, so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.

Other important sources include the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation:
