Hello Pam.... Write to the Registrars Office in Dublin with the information you have for a birth certificate for Margaret Coffey. This will give you her father's name. Then try this: Write a letter explaining your family history put it in an envelope addressed to a Mr./Mrs. Coffey. Write another letter addressed to the Postmaster at Ballingarry asking him to give your letter to the oldest Coffey they know. Include $5 for his trouble. If you know the townland in County Clare, do the same thing. I found two cousins this way. I still keep in touch with the Postmistress who helped me back in 1987! Joan
