Rootsweb(free site) has 311 entries in family trees for Farragher. Pull up the site and put Farragher or a complete name in the World Connect block. Then if you see something that interest you, probe on a name and it will give you the name and email address of the submitter.

Just don't take as absolute fact everything you see in family trees on any website, free or paid. There are lots of errors and most all are not documented or poorly documented. Even when you see the same information repeatedly by many different submitters, that is no guarantee it is correct because people copy without verifying.
