Newspaper ads for "missing" Irish in the U.S., 1831-1921

Maybe some of your "missing" Irish went to America.... I discovered this while looking for something entirely different.

"From October 1831 through October 1921, the Boston Pilot newspaper printed a 'Missing Friends' column with advertisements from people looking for 'lost' friends and relatives who had emigrated from Ireland to the United States." The database actually covers 1831 to 1893 (with no ads for some years), as well as 1901 and 1913.

Go to http://infowanted.bc.edu/

The database is sponsored by the Boston College Irish Studies Program and produced by the college’s Office of Marketing Communications. Based on The Search for Missing Friends: Irish Immigrant Advertisements Placed in the Boston Pilot, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society.

Cheers,
John
