Hiya I am trying to track down my Irish family. My granddad was born in Cork around 1940 (Owen Meegan) I know he has siblings Albert Meegan and Brendan Meegan and another brother that passed away. How can I find their birth certificates etc.
thanks

You should be able to get a certificate from the general register office in Ireland, that's where I got one from. I can't remember how much it was but it was a little more expensive than an English one. You might even be able to apply on-line.
