Welcome to Rootschat, Sarah. I've removed your post from the church links thread (for sources rather than queries) and moved it on it's own thread so others will see it.
You haven't given us any idea of dates but it can be difficult to find 'recent' information online.
You can post details of living people here but can you give us an idea of when your grandfather was born so we can suggest where to look for information.

granda was in dromore about 1890 i dont have any idea what his parents names were.he went to work in the copper mines in montana in 1923 but he stowed away on the boat.think he origionally came from aughadulla but moved to cornarrow hen he married and had a family.thats where im from.

sorry, nothing for parents but if you think its the right one then you could apply for the marriage certificate and it would give you the father's names.
