I am having trouble finding my great grandfather, Terrence Sullivan, before 1870.
Terrence E. Sullivan, born Ireland ( I believe Longford) in Dec 1846. His parents were Patrick and Bridget. He emigrated to the US around 1850. He was a Roman Catholic.

Dear Eileen,
Thank you for your message. Your query seems straightforward in that most Catholic parishes in Longford have registers pre-dating Terrence's birth. I suggest you contact the Longford Genealogy Centre, which has all of the Catholic parish records on a database. It can do a search of them. The email is longroot@iol.ie. The alternative is to use rootsireland.ie, which has all of those records available on a subscription basis. The genealogy centre has fees which depend on the nature of the search, but you will get a reply from the researcher and you can get into a discussion about your research in order to clarify points.
Best wishes,
Martin Morris
