    1. [IRL-KERRY] Savings Emigrant Bank
    2. Jim B --- The ancestry.com database is from 1850 - 1883 (the majority of the records in the earlier years). I do love this resource --- I recommend looking at all your names/places even if the years are "off" --- so few places to find maiden names in those early years. There are 12 Dineens in the test books. An example ---- Dineen/Reilly/Sullivans all together on these accts: Index: Michael Dineen, b 1839, IRE, Glenflesk (?), Kerry, acct opened 8 Apr 1862 Image: Michael b 1839, arrvd Jun 1860 residence: Knockagarry Cork, b. Glenflest, Kerry, single, father in IRE is Daniel, mother Nancy Leary dead. Johanna Dineen b 1820, Knockacopel(?), Kerry, arrvd July 1856 on the "Ethiopian" married to Cornelius Sullivan (1803), 2 children Michael & Bridget. This is a convoluted entry with a Patrick Reilly b. 1833, Knock________ Kerry, father John dead, mother Johanna Dineen in IRE. About New York Emigrant Savings Bank, 1850-1883 The Emigrant Savings Bank in the U.S. was established in 1850 by members of the Irish Emigrant Society. The bank ended up serving thousands of Irish immigrants who fled to America following the infamous Potato Famine. The bank kept many volumes of records including an Index Book; a Test Book; a Transfer, Signature, and Test Book; and a Deposit-Account Ledger. This database is an index to these records providing the given name and surname of the depositor, their account number, account date, and year and place of birth, if given. In addition, each indexed individual is linked to the image on which they appear where more information may be available.
