Hi my granny born Sept 13, 1911-1980 Mary Moore born county Wexford, daughter Eileen McMahon and Patrick Abrahams. Looking for family tree need to trace back. My grandfather John McMahon died 1977 He was married to Mary Hartigan 1909-2005. She had a son named Hans( my dad John James McMahon's 1939-2001 his half brother) would like to find any remaining family left in Ireland if any .I heard Hans had 5 children. I live in Canada would appreciate any help. I have my granny Moore's Birth certificate only in Gaelic:) Thanks Sara Jane McMahon

Dear Sara Jane
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
If you wanted to trace back you could use rootsireland or familysearch.org to find your great-grandfather's baptism record. Once you find this you will be able to find the date and place of his parents' marriage.
In terms of tracing forward, the latest online record available is the 1901/1911 Census:

There are a small number of McMahons listed on the Griffith's Valuation (1847-1864):
