Hi Bill, I really wish I could help you........O'Driscoll was such a popular
name. Without a parish there would not be a chance of proceeding.I know of
people who wish they could take their ancestry back to the famine and
beyond. (1840's) I couls send you several links but Im afraid nothing that
would help you in your quest. I have a Gx4 William Price from nearby Clyro
........ which William born c1797 is another thing! Any questions regarding
Ireland (incl. anyone on list I'll try my best) Sorry Bill. Regards,Kevin,
Co Cork,Ireland.
