The Massachusetts State Archives has been working on a database of Boston passenger arrivals, but it is very spotty as volunteers only did names they were interested in so there are huge gaps. For example, if you enter the name "Ahern" you would be led to believe that no Aherns came through the port of Boston. I assure you that is not the case. See http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ArchivesSearch/PassengermanifestSearch.asp Canadian lists are rather scarce as they did not have the same requirements for documenting arrivals.

I have been searching in vain on these surnames from Wicklow and Carlow Counties Ireland. If anyone has any information on these names from these counties please reply. I understand that our Griffiths were of Welsh descent and I assume emigrated from Wales to Ireland to work the coal mines as many of the Griffiths were at Castlecomer. My line goes like this Martha Edwards b. 1731 m. Thomas Nathan Wilson b. 1729 dau. Elizabeth Wilson b.1769 (From Elizabeth Wilson Booth down I have m. Robert Booth b. 1766 tons of verifications). Also Elizabeth Edwards m. Dr. Mathew Leach dau Catherine Leach m. unknown Griffith dau. Catherine Griffith (Carlow County) b. abt 1800 m. John Griffith (Wicklow County) b. abt 1795 - 1800 (Verifications from here down). Please contact me if you can help. These have been my brick walls for ages. Thank you very much. Wendy Brown

There's only one chance that I can imagine. And it wouldn't be easy without going to Carlingford. In St. Michael's Rectory there, there's an old IBM printout of baptisms, marriages and deaths. They range from 1835 to around 1909. The pastor, Fr. Carroll, would not be likely to let it leave the rectory. I was permitted to sit in the rectory conference room, where I recorded on tape, and also with pen and paper, the names that I wanted. One possibility, re. St. Michael's: write Fr. Carroll and ask. And maybe sweeten the pot with a bit of alms?? In Omeath, a few miles away (toward Newry) There's St. Laurence Catholic Church. Again, you'd have to go there. And there's no such IBM printout available. Ask me again in early June and I'll look for a Ferguson in the cemetery across the way. Too, meantime I'll check my North Commons farm lease/ownership data. Census data for 1666 and 1766 shows nothing. Otherwise, my list from Holy Trinity (Church of Ireland) Churchyard cemetery shows no Ferguson interred there. (There are many Catholics buried there, apparently with dispensations.)

David Edwards is a professor at Cork who wrote a book, a sort of epic catalogue of the English in Ireland, 1250-1650. Perhaps he has a bibliography in that book, has other books, or has online writings, speeches etc. that may be of assistance.

Colm: The sites listed by Dennis Ahern are indeed excellent, since I have also been researching my Irish lines that all came through New York at one point or another. The site he mentioned http://italian.org/NYCDeath.stm, doesn't just have Italians....it has lots of others also, and lots of Irish, so it is worth checking out.

Hi All I think I may find my Patrick Ferguson was bapt. in Carlingford about 1840. The LDS have not filmed this Parish, can anyone tell me where I can find the baptisms for all of Carlingford Parish please? Eve Ferguson

Lorrie, You probably are not looking for shipping records as you already know the vessel's name and date of departure, and most records merely state origin as just plain "Ireland" or "Liverpool" , but then you don't say what help you need. But, for others, here is info on Ellis Isalnd; For records before 1892, try Castle Gardens. Ellis Is. was not there until 1892. It maybe at; http://castlegarden.org/ Effective April 17,2001 a database housing about 22 million records of immigrant arrivals through NY Harbor from 1892 to 1924 will be made available to the public on the internet from records at Ellis Island NY. Records were extracted from nearly 3,700 rolls of microfilm,which were then entered into the database. The records can provide information such as an immigrants date of arrival, age, ethnicity,port of departure and the ship that brought him to the United States.This was all done with the help of more than 12,000 volunteers from the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who worked about 5.6 million hours since 1993 to accomplish this feat. Access to the data base is free at : www.ellisislandrecords.org From "The Long Island Newsday" newspaper Monday 4/16/01> ----------------------------- Periods of operation -------------------- August 1, 1855- April 18, 1890 : Castle Garden April 19, 1890-Dec. 31, 1891: Barge Office January 1, 1892- June 13, 1897: Ellis Island June 14, 1897 - Dec 16, 1900: Barge Office December 17, 1900-1924: Ellis Island ----------------------------------------- Ellis Island opened on January 1, 1892. It was constructed entirely of wood, was three stories high and was designed to handle up to 10,000 immigrants a day. In 1891, the federal government assumed jurisdiction over all ports, not just NY, so processing centers were established at other ports. Phil. PA. and New Orleans, LA. are two others. Just before midnight on June 14, 1897 a fire broke out in the all wooden building on Ellis Island and it burned to the ground. No ship records were destroyed since they were kept elsewhere, but all other administrative records for 1855-1890 were lost. The old Barge Office was again used as a processing center for 3 1/2 years while the new Ellis Island building was built. Patrick Traynor. tray@lanset.com

Joe I appreciate your help. Their father was Manassa and can be found in the 1900, 1920, and 1930 census reports. I have traced him and his wife Katie [nee Boyle] but have not been able to trace any of the family.

I have updated the Ireland books section of my website. New books have been added in all sections: Parish History, Local History, Genealogy, History, Fiction. New volunteers have also been added to do lookups in the books. You can find the links by going to the URL below my name. At the top of my homepage, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books. That will take you to the Ireland Books Discussion Mailing List website. At the bottom of that page, you will find links to both the Parish History Books and to the Ireland Book List. If you would like to add books to this website, just use the convenient forms at the bottom of all the book pages. If you would like to volunteer to do lookups, just email me off list. If your email address has changed and you are a lookup volunteer, please write me off list, giving the the book category and title. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Welcome, Dr. Gold. I'm not one of the experts here, but I offer this: Daniel P. Cronin Occupation Laborer Age 24 Sex M Literacy U Arrived 24 Mar 1863 Origin Ireland Port Liverpool Last Residence Destination USA Plan Unknown Ship City Of Manchester Not the ship you mentioned, but as its name implies, I believe the Great Eastern was sailing to Australia in 1863. Anyway, the above information on a Daniel P. Cronin was available free on line from www.castlegarden.org You will have to play around with the search page to pick up the other members of the family. Good luck in your search. I have a Donovan ancestor from somewhere in West Cork, and after ten years of searching I can't find him. Jim Lorie Gold wrote: > Hello, I have just joined this group.
