    Hi all,

    I was looking to find some way to access the Boston Pilot Missing Friends database (more info: https://www.irishcentral.com/news/irish-famine-immigrants-search-for-missing-friends-138201529-237428691).

    I found a few websites with links to the database but for some reason or another, I have had no joy with any of them.

    I see Ancestry have access but my subscription won't allow me to access them.

    Has anybody come across any other way to access the database? I had a lot of ancestors who settled in the greater Boston area so would be very appreciative if anyone had any thoughts as to any other ways/links to access the records.

    Many thanks!

    It's working for me on Ancestry. You might need the world subscription rather than premium.

    Here's the link to the collection home page.

    Happy to do a look up for you.

    I always found those incredibly sad.
