If you have relatives who went to the Boston, MAssachusetts area, the Massachusetts archives are bit by bit placing names from the manifests on-line. http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/arcsrch/PassengerManifestSearchContents.html Passenger Manifest Contents Massachusetts officials started recording the names of immigrants who arrived by ship in January of 1848, a procedure which continued until July of 1891, when federal records-keeping programs superseded those of the state. Although immigrants arrived at numerous Massachusetts ports, the Archives holds manifests for BOSTON ONLY. These are arranged chronologically according to the date when the ship arrived in port. The Archives holds the original manifests as well as the only microfilm copy available of these Passenger manifests. This collection has been cataloged as HS3.02/1990X (Registers of passengers arriving in Massachusetts ports) in the finding aids of the Massachusetts Archives. The Archives has an alphabetical card index covering the same years as the registers and providing the same information. This includes the name, age, sex and occupation of the immigrant; the country of birth, last residence and the passenger list number. Also included is the name of the ship, and the date of its arrival in Boston. Over one million immigrants came through the Port of Boston during this time period. Through the Archives Volunteer program volunteers are entering this information into a computerized database. Once a surname is entered into the database it goes through an editing process and when completed it will appear on this website. This database will be updated periodically. New surnames were added to the database in early November. good luck! Betsy

Hi Cathy- Check Castle Gardens website for arrivals before 1907. All Irish struggled to keep their O's-which were required to be removed to get jobs and soup from the soup kitchen. Only the most stubborn held on to them. But records could be your people either with or without the O', depending upon who was writing the records (like the English). Searching Sullivans can be maddening. Your best bet is to locate his birth in the 1879 birth records for the location-registration district in Limerick. These indexes for births, marriages & deaths are available to you at any LDS Family History Center. I believe the films go to 1880. If you need help buying the records once you find possible births (multiple), contact me and I can guide you through the GRO website where you can buy the copies directly from Ireland. There is a lot of satisfaction in that, and many listings include relatives, townlands, etc. He very likely left from Cobh.

On many of his papers the name Sullivan show, but we have always kept the "O" and he did when he came to New York we beleive in his late teens or early 20's. Because of the "popular" name and little paper work, we are haveing some trouble in getting information. Can anyone tell us where he may have left from if he was living in Ballyagran?? Would Cobh been a likely port?? Whre there any others at the time (that ships would land in New York) We have had little success in locating any info at Ellis Island since we really have no particulars at this time. ANY help would be grately appreciated. Regards, Cathy O'Sullivan

Hello Listers I am new to this list and just starting to look into my Irish side of the family. Hopefully some one will be able to help me. My gg grandfather, James Jackman, born England 1802, went to Ireland met a lass, Margaret Wiggins, born 1805, They married in Ireland, so the story goes. 1st son born 11 April 1828, baptized 27 April 1828 in the Parish Church of St. Ann's Shandon, Cork Now, what I need is something about their marriage. If someone can help me I certainly would appreciate it. Lorri Canada

Pat, don't give up on your Eugene, I traced mine back to Cashel, Rosscarbery, and there were generations of them there. It is certainly more unique than John, of which I have aplenty. Candi in California

Hello Cathy Sullivan, Try castle gardens for ship arrivals before 1900. There were tons of Sullivans in Beara peninsula, south-west Cork Cand in California

Cathy, You may be in better shape than you hoped. Assuming that your grandfather was a naturalized citizen, check his naturalization record. It provides what amounts to a biography as well as a photograph. I'm not sure where those records are kept in New York, but the NY State Archives and the National Archives are the most likely places.

I have realised i am never going to trace my McCarthy forebears in Cork. My g grandfather Eugene was the son of Flaurance McCarthy and Margaret Leahy who left Cork c1840 . Eugene was born in Deptford in 1855. I am astounded by the number of 'Eugene McCarthy' recorded all over the world. Does anyone know why the popularity.? I have also given up on finding Flaurance as the spelling became 'Florence'. regards Pat

To anyone who can help! My grandfather ws born in Ballyagran, Limerick 1879. He came to New York most likely in his late teens or early 20's. Can anyone advise what Ports there were in the are where he may have left from? I have tried Ellis Island records, but I have not idea if he used Patrick O'Sullivan - Patrick Sullivan or some other variation. Maybe somecone can help me where to start?? Thanks, Cathy O'Sullivan

My great grandfather Patrick SULLIVAN 1842-1903 was born somewhere in Ireland (family stories indicate County Cork). He married Ellen CUMMINS/CUMMINGS 1845-1927 in Rhymney Wales in 1863. His brother Florence SULLIVAN 1845-1909 was also working in Iron works in Rhymney. When Patrick married he indicated his father John was deceased; when Florence’s died his death certificate indicated his father was John SULLIVAN and mother Julia SULLIVAN (not sure whether SULLIVAN was Julia maiden name as well as her married name). Patrick immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1865. Florence also came to PA and married Ellen GLYNN 1849-1913. Both the SULLIVAN and CUMMINGS families settled in the Northeast Pennsylvania area Luzerne/Lackawanna Counties in the of Old Forge, Taylor, Minooka boroughs of Scranton, PA and Archbald, PA. It appears Patrick and Florence had an uncle living in the Scranton area. This uncle, their father John’ s brother, Michael SULLIVAN 1825 he died c 1880 in the Taylorville boro of Scranton. Michael was married to Margaret DISKIN 1844-1905. The SULLIVAN, CUMMINGS, DISKIN all had large families and while I have had success researching in the US I have not been able to find the SULLIVAN homeplace in Ireland. I am participating in the Family Tree SULLIVAN DNA Surname project to see where it may lead me. Looking for any information/connections. Please contact Walton J. SULLIVAN at wsullivw@aol.com

Hello Walton Sullivan, I have located an entire enclave of Sullivans in Beara Peninsula, south Cork, a land where Sullivans married Sullivans, so I would recommend you give that area of Cork some serious scrutiny. I also have 5 lines of Sullivans in my Donovan family. Two of my Sullivans (John son of John from Adrigole, Bantry, Cork & the other, Jeremiah, of Cahirdaniel, Kerry right across the bay) married my Donovan girls in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales in 1880s where they worked at the Dowlais Steel Works. The John J Sullivan from Beara left Wales for Joliet IL and I believe he followed other Toomey cousins who went there directly from Adrigole, Cork, Ireland. My second (unrelated) Sullivan from Kerry emigrated to New Castle Pennsylvania. One option you have is to contact local Genealogist Riobard O'Dwyer, who holds the Parish records and can define which Sullivan tribes (agnomens) belong to whom. I believe he has a website with some partially posted data from his area (as in posted names but no dates). However, he is NOT recommended on the National Library of Ireland website, and I personally cannot recommend him from my experiences with him. To my knowledge, his research does not include the school registers, the films at the National Library of Ireland. His strength is his personal access to parish records and his familiarity with his community and its families. I hope this is helpful in your search.

Jackie Gausden <gausdenstuff@hotmail.com> asked where to look for Cork obituaries from 2005-2006. For online obituaries from the Irish Examiner, see http://archives.tcm.ie/familynotices/search/index.asp -dja

Thanks Pete - there is a former COI church on the north side of the river, at the foot of Main St North, or at least just around the corner. I think it is/was Christ Church, Kilbrogan, built around 1625. Are you aware of any online site which has a good map of these townlands?

Cork, but nothing for your area. I'll confess that I don't make much of an effort to record online images.... of any graphic nature. I hate looking at maps or photos on dinky computer monitor screens. It's the large, flat-sheet maps for me. Something I can carry where I want, spread it out, and examine it in toto. I did think there was one map source which, as I recalled, had put some effort into their maps. But the website seems to be gone. It was by David Murray, about the family from Fermoy. The URL was www.murrayfamily.org .
