    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Have you had a look on rootsireland.ie for any details about the family? There are 12 baptism records for a Joseph Raffety between 1872 and 1876. As it is a subscription site I am limited in what I can see.  I don?t any mention of the marriage of Joseph and Sarah in the Civil Marriage Index on irishgenealogy.ie. You can search this latter site for the birth details of Sarah and Joseph also. Have a look at the above sites and let me know what you think.

    Best wishes
