My GGG grandfather Robert Kennedy was b. abt. 1810 in Co. Tyrone. I need find out what parish he was born in. I know he moved to Armagh and married Margaret Forbis/Forbes and Had at least 2 kids Robinson Born 1834 and Jane born 1831. Jane Married James Wilson and they immigrated to the US in 1873. Robinson Married Theresa McDowell and also immigrated to the US,I don't know when. If I can find the parish I might be able to learn who his parents were. Any info on Forbis/Forbes or Kennedy would be very appreciated.

It's quite possible that church record of a baptism for your Robert Kennedy does not exist- many pre-1850 records do not. To find church records you need to know the family's religion and where they lived then check what records might be available.
Again, have a look at Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start? (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,498742.0.html).
