Steve As you know your gr-grandmother's name and date of birth you should be able to obtain a copy of her civil birth certificate wherever in Eire she was born by writing to Office of the Registrar General Joyce House 8-11 Lombard Street East Dublin 2 Ireland You will need to fill out a form which you can find at http://www.groireland.ie/ A simple photocopy costs only 1.90 Euro and should give a good indication of the location of the family at the time of birth and her father's name. Some small proportion of births were not sent to the civil registrar, so you may be unlucky, but I've had few failures.
