Seeking details of my grandfather, John Farrelly, who I think was born on 7 Feb 1878 in Lurgan parish, County Cavan. Parents: John Farrelly, Bridget Lynch. Emigrated to Australia at about age 30. Any informaton regarding him or his parents, brothers and sisters would be most welcome. Want to know where best to obtain a certified copy of his birth certificate once his details confirmed.

Each county has a genealogy office where you can obtain birth certificates. The genealogy office for County Cavan is located in the Johnston Library Building. They charge a small fee, well worth it. It helps if you know the townland name (a sub-division within a village). Here is the link to the genealogy center, with a phone number and e-mail address at the bottom of the page. Let me know here how you make out.
