wexflyer,
who are you looking for? you need to search by name.....it's a bit easier.
These records are also in Ancestry.
I have membership until November.

Best I can find is via this route:

(Without logging in!)
Select a county from the map at the bottom of the home page (scroll down).

Click on "Online Sources" in the menu bar.
and
Here's the direct link to the Wexford sources page:
http://wexford.rootsireland.ie/generic.php?filename=centres/wexford/sources.tpl

Thank you both! This is precisely what I was looking for. Now that I can see what is available it is clear that they only have a limited number of Co. Wexford parishes online, which is exactly what I suspected from the low total number of BMDs they listed for the county. I wonder why - the county genealogy center had many more records indexed over 20 years ago....
Again, very useful!

Thank you, but I have access for Ancestry for free myself, and it is not simply a question of a name - I have been researching all the lines listed in my signature block for the last 20 years.  Again, the reason I am specifically interested in what Roots Ireland have available is that their material is NOT necessarily the same as what Ancestry and the NLI have.  An interesting example of this is in the link provided by "Dolmen"

If you follow that, you will see that it says that they have baptisms for the parish of Tagoat from 1812 to 1910. But the NLI and and Ancestry records only start in 1853, and end in 1880.

It's not just the time periods covered which can differ, the information in the records they have in common can also differ.
It not unusual to only get the couple and wittness' on a marriage on NLI, while RootsIreland will also have at least the fathers names sometimes mother as well.
