The GenExchange New York Emigrant Savings Bank project website has been named Family Tree Makers website of the day. The website located at http://www.genexchange.org/esb/index.cfm is the brain child and ambition of Monica Bennett, who has been working endlessly to transcribe the original records from microfiche. Called the single most important genealogical source material for New York City discovered this century, the New York Emigrant Savings Bank, opened in 1850 and run by Irish immigrants, for Irish immigrants, contain records for emigrants from California, Michigan, Florida, upstate New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Alabama and Missouri and are a true treasure trove of information. The records, being painstakingly transcribed by Monica Bennett, are some of the most sought after genealogical source materials, particularly for the New York Metropolitan area.. These key genealogical resources are sure to unlock mysteries for anyone looking for an emigrant ancestor who might have emigrated through New York. The records contain details about the place, date of birth, relatives, as well as military duties the emigrant might have had in the United States, and much, much more.
