Hi Everyone, The Ellis Island website allows you to search for immigrants from about 1890 onward- my ancestors came over during the potato famine, which was in the years just before that, so I can't search for them in the Ellis Island database. Does anyone know where they might have come through (would it still be Ellis Island?), and anyone know where I might search for the passenger lists? Thanks!

Hello Jennifer: I used to be part of a rootsweb list that was strictly for passenger list requests and info. Sorry I don't have the exact info (no doubt someone will), but I highly recommend the list as the listers were very knowledgeable and helpful. good luck susan spencer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Bean" <thatgirl@appleisp.net> To: <IrelandGenWeb-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 7:59 PM Subject: Re: [IGW] My love/hate relationship with the Ellis Island website > Hi Everyone, > The Ellis Island website allows you to search for immigrants from about 1890 > onward- my ancestors came over during the potato famine, which was in the > years just before that, so I can't search for them in the Ellis Island > database.
