My Great Grandfather was Michael Brady, a farmer in Mullanafrin.
My Great Grandmother was Ann Brady Fitzpatrick
My Grandfather was born Bernard Brady, April 3, 1881 in Mullanafrin
The birth was registered in Belturbet on April 11, 1881
I'm hoping to learn about relatives who still might be living in the area of Mullanafrin (except that name seems to no longer exist).
