Passenger Lists from Queens Cork to Brooklyn New York

Asphyxia

Hiya I am researching my great great Aunts and Uncles that left for America (Brooklyn New York) in the late 1800's I was wondering if anyone has any information on viewing passenger lists online. Preferably free Thank you

Ancestry has some but they are not free to view
If you can get to one of the big libraries, there's a 6 (I think) volume book of passenger lists. They definitely have it in the Pearse St library on the open shelves.

depends on the dates...

Ellis Island opened in 1892 : www.ellisisland.org

before that try Castle Garden : http://www.castlegarden.org/

The earlier lists dont have very much detail.

I know what you mean I found out that a child had been shipped of to America after his mother had an affair with the father's brother :eek: I'm just in the car ready to take off on another lead :D There should be a random chat thread in this forum where people can give updates on what they've found :D I love reading things like that!

Ya its great its a pity its not like that anymore its such a hassle to immigrate to america now and very few people get to its so unfair. I'd be on the ships straight away!

You can see more details on the manifest image. i.e.

previous address - Hackett's Cottages, Milltown, Dublin
occupation - car driver
father - Mr. Cummins

The record is from 1910 - so there was no 'Northern Ireland' at that time

typical. and how someone from dublin qualifies to be british is beyond me but whatever. :rolleyes:

All of Ireland was part of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland between the act of union in 1800 and the end of 1921. This ended with partition and the creation of the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland.
