Michael Fagan abt 1869 - 1940

Hi Cath,

I will see if I can give you some direction.  Do you have any certificates, letters or memorial cards, the reason I query this is that they may give youthe  town/townland that they lived in ?

I searched familysearch.org (free site) & I found some information that may be his, but I am unsure as the dates do not exactly match.

The best way forward would be to use www.rootsireland.ie (subscription based) & they should be able to assist you get his death, marraige & birth certificate, hopefully the later 2 will give you the name of his parents.

Best of luck in your search.  Carmel O'Callaghan 

Thank You Carmel for the above advice. Could you tell me how to get there Marriage Certificate by post as i live in the UK. Thanks Again..

Hi Cath,

Sorry for not coming back to you sooner as some of my friends were trying to get  copies of certs from Family Search by email & as yet they have not got them.  If there is a Family Search centre near you they may be able to help you, basically if you can identify your relative on their database, you can order the micorfilm & get a copy from it.  

Otherwise try Rootsireland.ie or try http://www.groireland.ie/apply_for_a_cert.htm

I have never got anything from these sites as I am able to go to Dublin about once a month & source them direct from the office there, but they limit the number  you can get & you have to  search for yourself through the registers

Best Wishes  from Carmel & do let me know how you got on..
