In my meaning, there is no quote, which deals with the awakening/birth of Círdan.

I would say it is pretty doubtful that Cirdan was a first generation elf; all first elves had wives, nothing is mentioned about his. He is also stated to be akin to Olwe and Elwe (who, being brothers, cannot be first generation elves either). Him being their ancestor would be rather diffictul to accept, seeing his allegiance to Elwe.
