Description The "Irish Emigrants Manifest Database" is an Excel file containing the name, age, occupation, birthplace, ship name, and arrival date for 18,000 of the 916,000 Irish immigrants who arrived at the port of New York from 1846 to 1854. It is not a random sample, but was created almost entirely from those manifests which gave detailed information (county, parish, or town) for each immigrant's place of birth within Ireland. A full accounting of the methodology used to collect the sample and how it was weighted in order to estimate the Irish county origins of the United States' Famine immigrants can be found in the Methodological Appendix of our article in "Irish Historical Studies."
