Where could I find information on how to find Irish relatives that I've never met?
I think I have Irish relatives, Kilbys and Murphys, and I would love to find out if any of my distant relatives are still in Ireland. Murphy is the one of the most common names in Ireland, good luck finding the ones you want.
Kilby is not so usual. Try the telephone directory if you know they are from the Republic: www.eircomphonebook.ie I think is the website, otherwise go to www.goldenpages.ie and click on the relevant link.
People have moved around a lot and names are no longer confined to particular areas. If you knew where your relatives were from, you might be able to find church records and perhaps trace living relatives that way.
