Travel books, and books for people intending settle in a strange land, are popular these days but were there any in the early nineteenth century when your Irish ancestors were contemplating emigration? The answer is "Yes."

"The Emigrants' Guide to the Canadas" by Wm. Watson, Esq was printed by G. Bull,
3, Redmond's Hill, Dublin in 1822. Mr Watson's book was carefully read by six Irish guys in Montreal who had emigrated prior to the publication of his book and they assured readers that it was worth purchasing ... to use a few of their words " it will prove a valuable acquisition, and prevent the necessity of his having recourse to the chicanery of the Emigrant Offices, where he must pay, and receive no manner of satisfaction."

The Irish Emigration Database is available through the Centre for Migration Studies, the Public Records Office Northern Ireland (PRONI) and in Northern Ireland libraries through the Local Studies Departments and public access terminals in the branch libraries. The IED has been temporarily withdrawn to individual access because the system is no longer able to support the current volume of use. www.qub.ac.uk/cms/collection/IED.htm

This database has been complied in collaboration with the Balch Institute Philadelphia, and the Ellis Island Restoration Commission, and the Battery Conservancy, New York from  original passenger lists of ships which sailed from Ireland and the UK. www.dunbrody.com/database2.php
