Hi Barb, Unfortunately I don't know if any of those Peter Magee/McGees are mine. I noticed that the Emigrant Savings Bank took down information such as the account holder's county of origin and ship and year that they arrived, etc. My gggrandfather, Henry McGee, posted two ads in the Boston Pilot searching for his 7yr.old daughter, Anne, who was supposed to have arrived with another family. He listed Peter Magee, whose address was 39th & 9th, as the contact person. Peter Magee was marked down as being an uncle to Anne and would therefore be Henry's brother and the info in Peter Magee/McGee's Emigrant Savings Bank account would then become very useful to me. Thanks very much for the directory listings though.

Hi Clare: Re: Emigrant Savings Bank Not all entries have all that information. I was fortunate enough to find my great-grandfather. It said that he arrived in 1864 and there was more information on him. It gave his age, ship that he sailed on, and place of birth which was Tipperary but didn't say county or town of. It gave no information on who came with him or his parents' names or the name of a spouse. His brother Joseph, who came in the 1870s - I could not find anything on - and I looked through 3+ rolls of microfilm. Some of the record books were lost, so info only goes up to accounts in the 60000s if I remember. That would mean people after say the early 1870s or so would not have a record. They are worth looking at - some libraries have them available on mircofilm (no index) and ancestry.com does have them indexed. But you have to have the immigration package to see them. Ancestry paid a fee to get them (the Immigrant Savings Bank still exists) and they are still the property of the bank. That is why they aren't on-line anymore for free.
