Between 1847 and 1854, the arrival of more than 1 million Irish marked the first voluntary mass migration of a localized populace to the United States. This Family Archive CD contains information on approximately 1.5 million Irish immigrants who arrived in the Port of Boston between 1846 and 1851 and in the Port of New York between 1846 and 1865.
This resource was produced in collaboration with the Balch Institute Center for Immigration Research and the John F. Kennedy Trust of New Ross, Ireland.
You can learn a great deal of information about your Irish ancestors by researching with this Family Archive. Most of the records list an immigrant's age, gender, occupation, province or country of origin, village or town of origin, destination, and manifest ID number.
In addition, you may learn the name of the ship on which they travelled, the port from which they embarked on their journey, the port of debarkation, and the ship's arrival date.
