Announcing a new website that is chock full of incredible Irish records. This is my Featured Weekly Database for this week.
In the Wake of Dark Passage: Irish Famine Migration to New Brunswick, 1845-1852
Don't be misled by the title! There are records here that pertain to other geographic locations.
The website includes the following searchable records. I have just spent an enjoyable half hour searching the Passenger Lists and Almshouse Records. I was amazed to find that in the ships passenger lists, each individual entry is linked to the actual images of the original manifest.
When I glanced at the Immigrant Letters database I was struck by the geographic locations - many in the USA as well as of course Ireland and New Brunswick.
