More Ship Passenger lists

Some 227,000 names of Ship Passengers have been added to the Irish Family History Foundation's website www.RootsIreland.ie.

These records, via the Centre for Migration Studies in Omagh, Co Tyrone, are of passengers, mostly of Irish origin, on ships travelling from Irish and British ports to ports in North America (United States and Canada) from 1791 to 1897.
