At one time, there were two sites that automatically popped up on Ancestry, especially if you entered an Irish name. They aren't popping up now, and I can't remember exactly what their titles were. If I knew, I could access them through the alphabetical list of databases. Perhaps someone has some idea? It would be greatly appreciated. One was something like Irish Friends and Family, that showed postings to a newspaper [in Boston] made by Irish abroad, who were searching for relatives who arrived here. The other was not specifically Irish, but I found several of my Irish on the database. Its title was something like Letters of Administration in the NY County Court, during a specific time frame...circa 1865-1880. Thanks for any reminders, or URLS to these sites.

I'm not sure about the second site you're seeking but here is the link to the first: http://infowanted.bc.edu/ From October 1831 through October 1921, the Boston Pilot newspaper printed a “Missing Friends” column with advertisements from people looking for “lost” friends and relatives who had emigrated from Ireland to the United States. This collection of more than 31,438 records is available as a searchable online database, which contains a text record for each ad that appeared in the Pilot.
