    Have you contacted the adoption authority of Ireland to see if there is any record of your adoption? If it was legal there may be some information available to you. Have you managed to get your mothers birth certificate - going back 27 years and searching the books in the GRO for her assumed year of birth? Have you an idea of the area she came from - it would make it easier to narrow down any possibilities. If you managed to find her birth certificate you could work forward to find a possible marriage cert and records for other children she may have had. Have a look at the tracing guides available on Adoption Rights Alliance website and see if you can work from there. http://www.adoptionrightsalliance.com/searchandreunion.htm
