In checking immigration records in Ireland, where does one go to try and find out when their ancestors left Waterford or any place in Ireland? Thanks to any who can answer the question. Mary

I will check this out for you as far as emigration. By far the best records to check, however, are those dealing with *immigration* in the destination country, as they are most complete, especially for during the potato famine and other such busy times. The difficulties with checking emigration records are that they probably left from a big coastal city, not from where they were from, and often (especially during the famine) left from England. Do not be surprised if you don't find emigration records on them either. It's best to check passenger lists and immigration records...all of which are kept on the US side during the famine, and much more complete after the famine. If you still would like to try the emigration records, let me know and I'll find you a few sources.
