Information extracted to connect people to Irish townlands
I've have been researching the US State Department records at the US National Archives. Most of these records are from the 20th century but many are dated 1865 to 1899.
I've extracted information on the place of birth for thousands of people born In Ireland or with Irish parents. Typically this information will connect a person with a location in Ireland to their residence, or former residence, in the United States. Many of these Irish emigrants return to Ireland to live and raise their family.
If you find any names that connect with your research please send me an email.
