Hi

Thanks for looking, that's confusing isn't it.

I also found a Samuel Whittaker from Donegal on the New York Passenger Arrival Lists (Ellis Island) 1892-1924
He was 45 and arrived in New York on 6 Sept 1903 on the ship Furnessia leaving Londonderry

Is there anything more do you think could be found on him?

Many thanks for all your help and advice.

Regards

If Samuel Whittaker stayed in the US you might find him in 1910, 1920, 1930 U.S. census, WWI & WWII Draft Registration cards, etc. Where and who was he going to in US?

This doesn't relate to the US side of the enquiry but as far as the Irish records are concerned ............ I read somewhere very recently that a lot of records that were held in Dublin were burned BUT the government asked people to write in with details of their families presumably as far back as they knew and a very large number did - these records I understand are held in NA at Kew.

Thank you to both your replies and information.

I wonder how hard it would be to find info. in Kew on a particular family?

I don't know where Samuel was heading for, but I hadn't thought of the Army records, thank you.  Can't remember which site it is to find them though?

Kind regards

Did you not look at the scanned image? Passenger manifest on www.ellisisland.org says he was was a builder and going to 6000 Motor St., Philadelphia.

He's too old for U.S. draft registration cards (WWI & WWII).

1920 U.S. census (no images) is here:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=allCollections;r=0

If you want to find more details on Samuel it would be best to start a new thread on U.S. board (with link to this one) & include all the details you know already.

Hi

I hadn't looked at that as I didn't know about it, so thankyou for the information.

Kind regards
