Check out the NARA site for their holdings by office locations. Each one has different holdings. Most have the USA censuses, passenger lists from the area where the office is located plus much more. If you can find him in the 1860 USA federal census and he is still living with his parents, you will get their names in the census. Following the censuses when you get to the 1900 census, you could find out what year they all emigrated. The Federal censuses are on the zero years, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900 etc. The 1890 census was lost in a fire. If the family stayed in NYS, the state had censuses on the years that ended in 5s. However, they too had a fire in Albany that destroyed many of the censuses so it depends on the county on whether the census is available because many made copies before sending theirs to Albany. Usually, birth, marriage and death certificates give you where they were born. However, many just say 'Ireland' and not the county, let alone the townland. But, using the censuses, you can figure out when and where they married and died. Once you have that information, you can get the certificates through the city clerks office if still in NY or through Albany but I find it quicker through the local offices. This is very general information but if you get an area, post to the list again and maybe we can give you very specific sources. > What can I get at NARA please? > > > > I know my grtgrandfather came from IRE to NYC..and stayed in Manhattan, > worked > > and married, had a family.
