Tracing Irish Immigrants in New York City Part 2

Millions of Irish emigrants left Ireland and entered the United States through New York City. While the focus of this presentation is finding the place of origin or names of parents for Irish immigrants to New York City, the concepts discussed may apply to other big cities as well. This second presentation will focus on tracing Irish immigrants to New York in the following records sets: court records, naturalization, census, jury, WWII draft registrations, city directories, newspapers, probate records, cemeteries, archives and digital collections.
