The article lists many Ulster family names and the item is worth looking at even if only for this article. The article gives an insight to the McCorkell shipping company, the ships crew and rations. Furthermore there is an extract from the McCorkell order book of William McCorkell for passengers to America.

i have always been told that presidient mckinley was an ancestor, and in the 1861 family bible, i found a mckinley campaign ribbon i found a bio that says his family was from Ballymoney, in antrim county, which is the same county one of my bell ancestors was married in i don't know if he is related from the Bell side of the family, or perhaps the braiden-burligim side does anyone have any information about Mckinly? does anyone know if Belfast is in county antrim? i have found the relationship in our family with John adams and president pierce, through the fletcher side

Belfast is on the line between Down and Antrim.....part in both counties.
