Was assuming the Heritage Center was in Derry City, could be Dublin, it is on Bishop Street.

I was looking for my Great Grandfather's name. The following is a listing of just a couple of the names: 1857 Biddy Doherty 20 years old, Ballygorman; Ship - Elizabeth; destination - Philadelphia 1859 Margaret Doherty; Ballygorman; Ship - Mary Ann; destination St. John, Canada 1859 Bernard Doherty, Ship - Elizabeth 1859 Thomas Gorman 1859 Mary Doherty; Ballygorman The list is from the Heritage Center on Bishop Street, Derry City, County Derry. Somebody I know will be seeing Conal Brynes this summer and I will ask her to get a copy of the list. I should have done that when I saw him.

So, if your Moville people emigrated to the US, the records are in the US National Archives (NARA), by port of arrival and date; many of these records are indexed (smaller ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are indexed together). See http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/immigrant_arrivals/passenger_records.html#where for details on NARA's immigration records. Records are available in Washington DC, at (certain) NARA regional offices, at some libraries, by mail, and through their microfilm purchase/rent programs. See http://www.archives.gov/publications/microfilm_catalogs/how_to_rent_microfilm.html for information on NARA's microfilm rental program. Most (all?) of these microfilms are also available through the LDS for viewing at your local FHC. Ancestry seems to be putting some of this data online, but their database is still far from complete. People like the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild -- http://www.immigrantships.net/ -- are putting scattere! d ! sh! ips lists online, but they have only a small fraction of passenger ship manifests online. If your people emigrated from Moville to somewhere in the UK, there is almost certainly no passenger list; you have to rely on other records. If your people went to Australia or Canada or elsewhere, you need to check those countries' holdings for passenger lists. Hope this helps.
