Have a read of our sticky to start with: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056388162

Assemble everything you already know and round up the certificates knocking around so that you don't waste money buying things you already have.

You haven't mentioned what part of Ireland your family are from. Your Dad was born in 1939, so I would expect his parents to be young kids, or possibly even too young for the 1911 census. If that's the case, you'll need to get your grandparents marriage certificate (details how to in the sticky) to get their respective fathers' names.

If you want to come back to us with some more data, we can do a bit of digging for you.

to get you started - the likely references for Denis and Kate's marriage from the BMD Index. Denis jnr. seems to have been the youngest of three siblings.. so the search was for a marriage before 1937 in Cork district :
Name: Denis Dineen
Quarter/Year: Jul-Sep 1935
Registration District: Cork
Volume: 5 / Page : 63

One of the cross matching names i.e. same reference numbers, and so possible bride is a Kathleen Donegan.
