The Famine Ship Records

If you are  among the millions of Irish-Americans whose ancestors emigrated directly from Ireland or via Liverpool to America during the Great Famine of 1845-50 find out if they sailed on the trusted Jeanie Johnston, on one of the infamous coffin ships or on one of the several hundred other  vessels that sailed from Ireland around the time of the potato famine?.

Handwritten ships' passenger lists, completed on arrival at each  port, have been transcribed, indexed and made available online as the Famine Ship Records. The computerised database listing each Emigrant's Name, Age, Occupation, Date and Port of Arrival and, in some cases, their Address and Luggage Details, form an invaluable resource for those researching their family history and seeking their Irish roots.

Ellis Island, now a 27.5-acre site located just minutes off the southern tip of Manhattan Island, New York, is likely to connect with more of the American population than any other spot in the country. It has been estimated that nearly half of all Americans today can trace their family history to at least one person who passed through the Port of New York at Ellis Island. Now, nearly a century since the peak years of immigration, Ellis Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the National Park Service.
