As your family gathers together this season - be it in person or virtually - discussions of your Irish ancestry are likely to arise.
Where did your great-great-grandmother come from? Who did your third cousin marry? Did your great uncle receive any military commendations? What year did your granny arrive leave Ireland and go abroad?
While your immediate family is likely a vast source of information, MyHeritage can help fill in the gaps by providing you access to more than 12.6 billion historical records, many of which are Irish!
For instance, MyHeritage currently hosts Irish birth, marriage, and death certificates, Irish census records, historic newspapers, and Irish immigration records, including passenger logs from Ellis Island in New York City.
In fact, earlier this year, MyHeritage shared this data visualization of the top male names among the Ellis Island and Other New York Passenger Lists, 1820–1957 for each decade between 1850 and 1950.
Notably, from the 1850s - 1910s, more Irish males arrived than any other nationality, due in large part to Ireland's Great Hunger. Could your Irish ancestor be among these many Irish men who arrived in the US during that period?
If your holiday gathering has you wondering about the depths of your Irish ancestry, MyHeritage is the perfect place to begin exploring.
Better yet, MyHeritage is currently offering 60 percent off of its top-tier Complete Plan, which provides access to all of MyHeritage’s features and historical records, making it the best plan available for family history research.
