Thanks Maureen, for reminding me about this site. Often when I hear about a site, I spend hours, maybe days, searching on it, using my surnames with their many spellings, then forget about the site. It has been a couple of years since I searched the NARA site, the info from books I first looked at in the New York City Public Library. Since those days, I have gathered more information on my family and will now go back to the NARA site and search some more. Never know what I'll find. > Just wanted to remind those who know and to advise those who don't ------ > > The US Library of Congress website has a wonderful and searchable section > on Irish immigration to the US around the time of the Famine.
