Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Irish Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 67

Much is available in local and state repositories and increasingly online. Especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, obituaries for migrants or their descendants often state the place of origin. Also worth seeking are reports of ships’ arrivals and adverts for people in America or Ireland seeking relatives. Such adverts from the Boston Pilot (1831–1916), for example, are published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society as The Search for Missing Friends. Catholic newspapers flourished locally in the 19th century, including Philadelphia’s Erin (1822) and the Catholic Advocate and Irishman’s Journal (1823). By 1911 there were 321 of them: see www. newadvent.org/cathen/11692a.htm.
