Irish immigrants to New York - Potato Famine

"With assistance scouring records from dozens of his students and a professional genealogist, Anbinder documented more than 1,200 famine immigrants’ lives in detail over time — looking beyond the moment they arrived on US soil and showing what happened to them afterward."

That is really interesting, some of my Irish Ancestors emigrated to America after the potato famine, according to passengers lists, they were sponsored by the Catholic Church.
 With common names like Carroll and Monaghan they weren't easy to find, the problem being compounded by the constant changing of spellings in both Christian and Surnames and DOBs were inaccurate. According to one census, one of my ancestors was 23 with a 10 year old Daughter, not impossible, but on a later census showed the right ages.
Anna Monaghan was our last surviving Irish relative who died a spinster in St. Louis, Miss in 1920, she was a Book Binder.
She died Intestate and my Grandmother and two cousins received money from her "Estate"

It looks like it might have some useful tips on how to track ancestors who immigrated to the NYC slums in that time period.  My own Irish ancestors immigrated before the famine, and they did not go to New York.  They were farmers who went to the Midwest.

Finally got around to reading this, very interesting even in general terms on how emigrants manage in a the new country.
