This is part of a message I received from a friend in Northern Ireland in regards to my query which you might find interesting. Also by separate e mail I will send a list of 1773 passengers, which was an appreciation list and letter.This may save a lot of people some grief of searching Cyndi's list and other forever which I did myself. The emigrations of the 1700's were mostly of Presbyterians and these folk were regarded as "troublesome" by the goverment of the day. The emigrations were neither offically encouraged nor discouraged and there was no interest in compiling lists of emigrants. The most comprehensive lists that we have were compiled at the other end of the voyages. Emigration data here does exist - butnot in an ordered or comprehensive form. Next time thatr I am at PRONI I wil take a copy of their fact sheet on the subject for you. Some sources known to me are: Business records of companies involved with shipping (very few survive from the 1700's). The OS memoirs for Co. Londonderry lisy emigrants for a very few years in the region 1830-1834 for some areasd of the County. Letters of appreciation by successful emigrants published in the Belfast Newletter. I have attached an example which may be relevant to you. Note: I have the list and will put it and the accompaning letter separately on the lists since attachments aren't allowed. Gordon Crooks
