Hello, My 4-great-grandfather, Michael EAGAN/EGAN/AGAN/AGIN, arrived in NYC on 7/26/1834. By 1840, he was living in Taunton, MA, where he lived for the rest of his life. My two questions: 1. Does anyone have the book which lists which ships arrived on NYC on that day (7/26/1834)? If so, would you please email me? 2. Does anyone else have any ideas as to how long it took him to get from NYC to Taunton? In 1834, how would an Irish immigrant get between those places? Did Irish immigrants often work for a while in NYC? I know that one of my other immigrant grandfathers (John Fitzgerald EDGERTON) WALKED from NYC to Providence (in 1852), where he found work. Later, he moved further east to New Bedford, where he lived for the rest of his life. Where else might I check to try to find him along the way (NYC, CT, RI, MA)? Obviously, the 1830 Census would not help in this case. Any ideas welcome! Thanks. Betty, Middleboro

Betty, Did you ever figure out which books/mirco films have ships records? I did find the Ellis Island site (ellisisland.org), but for after 1897 & the one before 1900 seem pretty mixed up. I am looking for someone b 1869 England & married in US 1909. What possibilites can you suggest?
