    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:D There should be a random chat thread in this forum where people can give updates on what they've found :D:D I love reading things like that!

    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

    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.
