Need help in identifying where my Great Grandparents were born in Ireland
My Great Grandparents came to the United States/New York City/Ellis Island from Ireland as a married couple on March 26, 1894 on board the Vessel Etruria that departed from Liverpool and Queenstown. He was 19 years old and she was 18 [or close to 18]. All documents I have received only indicated the Country of citizenship and not the specific City. Can anyone suggest who to contact in order to possibly identify where they were either married and/or born in Ireland?

@Edward5127 Welcome to the wonderful world of Irish research!
I suggest you post in the Ireland Research Group where those experienced in the hunt may be able to help.
https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/104-ireland-researchIf you'll share their names, we should be able to help you locate their Irish civil marriage record. That will tell us where they were living when they married and the names of their fathers. Then working with that information, we should be able to work back to their birth records and then learn the names of their mothers. The next step will be the marriages of their parents.
We connect the dots to complete the picture.
Hope this helps, and look forward to seeing your next post with those details so we can start the search.
Happy New Year!
