          yes he does have his brth certificate, but we cant understand why we cant find his details online or through any geneology site. his father is as prevously mentioned and his grandfather had the dame name as his late dad. His late grandfather was married to a jane conaghan and this is all he has for information. I am trying to get this started for his birthday present in sept.
          I am trying also to get the copy of the original co.tyrone newspaper for when he was born. He has been struggling for a long time to get answers and keeps hitting brickwall.

          thankyou most kindly for your response

            the problem is that indexes for ireland BMD's do exist, they are just online. familysearch has one, but only goes up to 1922 or similar i think.

            the paternal grandparents raised him? their names were william j. mcollum and jane conaghan? so the family is from tyrone? were the grandparents around for the 1901 and 1911 census? do you know whent he grandparents died? have you got the marriage for the parents, or know that date, so you can apply to the register office for it?
