Hi; Absent any old family letters or testimonials from octogenarians, the Search for Missing Friends is by far the best source to consult when trying to locate the places in America where your Irish ancestors and their relies settled. If you are fortunate to have ancestors who were looking for tertiary relations and friends, and sent a query to the Boston Post, this resource may be the only source of first hand information that connects your American family to their native Irish county and townland. This is great therapy for those Americans who are tearing their hair out by the roots looking for their ancestral home, and will prove even more valuable as time passes.
