Ellen, Thank you for your kind offer. Would you please see if there is a Michael Burke in the Register. His widow and children seem to have arrived in Ontario around that time but I don't know where Michael died. The family was from County Clare.

I have the Register of Deceased Persons at Grosse Ile at Sea and on Grosse Ile in 1847 which lists 8,308 victims and the companion volume 1847 Grosse Ile: a Record of Daily Events. Nearly 100,000 emigrants, mostly Irish, disembarked at Grosse Ile or the Port of Quebec that year. I also have A Farewell to Famine which lists the 847 people from Wicklow and Wexford who followed Fr Hore to New Orleans. I will do look-ups if you have more than a hunch that your ancestors might be among either group.

You may be able to research thru whatever records the quarantine island of Grosse Ile may has at present.. This was the quarantine island during the time of the famine where thousands are buried and where other members continued up the St. Lawrence to Montreal. Others came over the border, one very famous one was the Henry Ford family who settled into farming and then family went on to Detroit and into history. Recently the President of Ireland opened a famine park in Canada, I do not know if it was Montreal or Toronto. You may be able to research the name thru the National Archives in Dublin, Ireland ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRISH-FAMINE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- Unlimited storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection. ====MAYO Mailing List==== Add your name in the County Mayo Surname Registry at: http://www.connorsgenealogy.net/Mayo/ Do you have a County Mayo website you would like to see in this space?
