"I am seeking passenger info for the New World, Liverpool - New York, Oct-Dec, 1853." I am also researching ships carrying Irish passengers in 1853 and '54. I think you have three ways to go: 1. Request a lookup on the NARA microfilm of the ship manifest, available in Washington, D.C., NYC, and Pittsfield MA. If no one steps forward to do this in the next week, I can put it on my list to do, when I am next at the Pitts- field branch. 2. Request a lookup in the Irish Ancestor, which is in various collections around the country, including the New England Historical Society in Boston. I have the name of a person who works near there and has offered to do a lookup for me. My goal is to actually get there this summer and do my own research. Also, you can use the online order form to obtain a photocopy of the article from the Allen County Public Library, which publishes PERSI (an index to all such publications) in Indiana. 3. You can request further information on the ship and on a particular passenger from the SHIPS-L mailing list, on which there are people with access to such info and who regularly do lookups. Good luck. I am assuming that you have already checked the volunteer transcribers site, which does have a few ship lists for '53 (the name New World rings a bell, so it may be there). I agree, that these ships in the early '50s are very elusive. I am re- searching whether one of them tried to dock at NYC or Philadelphia and was diverted to a Canadian port, due to cholera onboard. That's the family story, and it would explain why my ggrandfather was born in Mon- treal in 1855 but the family persevered in reaching Philly in 1866, minus two family members left buried up there.

Sharon - thanks so much for your suggestion. I have just yesterday asked for a look-up, so we'll see what I find. Hopefully, I can go on from there, but your suggestions are wonderful and give me new avenues to pursue. Thanks again.

Hello: I'm seeking information re: Michael Henry Reardon (O'Riordain, O' Reardon), my gggrandfather, born about 1815 in Cork. I believe his father was also a Michael Reardon--and his mother may have been a Callahan. According to family lore he was one of the founders of the Young Ireland Party-and escaped to Nova Scotia around 1849 with a price of 5000 Pounds on his head, courtesy of the English Gov't. He was said to have attended Trinity College, Dublin, and was a ward and possibly a relative of Daniel O'Connell. He married Sarah Dyer, who may have been Dutch. It is possible that he was a Protestant, though he and his wife were buried in Catholic ground in Oshkosh, Wisc., in the 1870's. Any and all help much appreciated! Michael Haines

I am seeking information on a ship that seems very obscure, at least for this sailing. I am seeking passenger info for the New World, Liverpool - New York, Oct-Dec, 1853. It had 754 passengers, mainly Irish and German. One source for it apears to be The Irish Ancestor, which I cannot find any information on, Vol 7:1; pp 6-10, 1975, source name: F Folliott, Rosemary, Extractor. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I might find this reference (I am awaiting index films from FHC). Diane Martin Sutherland Minneapolis MN

I am far behind in reading my mail! I have several surnames of folks b Co. Cavan Ireland who came to Canada in the mid 1800s; ELLIOTT, LOVAT, and POTTS. ELLIOTT and LOVAT are Scot names, POTTS is English. If anyone is interested in these names, I have more details. Joyce Franke Proud Sponsor Plus of RootsWeb

Lyn, Try the Sutro Library, San Francisco - they have the book and I think that you could request a copy of the page since you know the number - there would be a fee.

Greetings to all. Is it possible to have pages copied from Burke's Landed Gentry (1871 Edn .) ?. My family of Wrights of Gola are listed on page 1553 of this edition. Would anyone know of any sites which may contain information on them? I am geographically isolated and rely on letters and the "net" for my research. Any help or advice would be most gratefully received. Best wishes. Lyn Hotchin [email protected]

Frank, I have received some records for the Ahoghill area via the Family History Center. For what it's worth, The Genealogy Centre's have proven cost effective for my search ($35.00 per search sure beats hours of staring at microfilm/fische.)

Dear Listmembers, I am new to this list but hope some kind soul can help me. My great grandfather was believed to be baptized in "St. John the Baptiste" RC church in Black Rock, Dublin. Would anyone know where that is and where the records might be obtained.? thank you for your kind indulgence. Jean Brown in North Carolina USA

There was a large Huguenot population in Dublin. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, the protestant French were forced to leave France and a large population settled in Dublin, where they carried on their trade of mainly cloth and silver/goldsmithing.

They exist somewhere! and also under local control. This parish belongs to the Diocese of Drumore. That's the best Fianna knows SO FAR. Sorry can't be more help. Peace.

Dear List Members, Does anybody know if the records for the catholic parish for Ahoghill, County Antrim for the period around 1850's are in print, on disk or on fische? Or, are there any alternatives to getting families in those records professionally researched? Thanks in anticipation, Frank Neeson, Melbourne, Australia
