I'm new to Irish Palatine genealogy and need some direction. I am looking for the John Baker family that probably came from Ballingrane, Limerick to the New York City in Jul 1786 and then on to Washington County, NY. He was a member of the Ashgrove Methodist Church. I'm trying to find the names of his children. If one of his sons was born in 1782, would there be Protestant church records in Ballingrane? Does anyone know where to find ships lists for this period? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Debbie S

Hello, This site is handly the Ship List http://theshipslist.com/index.html Also The Olive Tree Ship lists is a great resource. Here is a great website The Church of Ireland Genealogy and Family History. http://www.ireland.anglican.org/library/libroots.html This one very good as well Irish Emigration Research Project http://www.famineshiprecords.com/ I hope something is of help. Let me know if you need something else, I to am researching German family who went from Germany to Ireland where some still remain today, Others went on to Canada. Happy Hunting P.S I looked on Ansectery.com for New York Arrivals for your name there were many John Baker's but none in that time frame.
