    How much information do you have?
    If you have surnames and a parish name www.irelandxo.com can be useful.
    Also many towns now have Facebook sites, more people from the area would look at this more than geneological websites.

    If you know the name of the parish and denomination it's usually possible to figure out where the historic records are held and what dates are available. Films of most RC records are held in the National Library, and many of the Church of Ireland records are held in the RCB Library in Church, Co. Dublin.

    Some but not all parish records are online, but depends on the area

    why not post the name of the parish the denomination, and approximate dates ?

    p.s. If your dates are after 1864 then it's often easier to search civil records - so FamilySearch & GRO
