Irish Geneology Records

[tinkerbell23]

Hi I use Scotlands people to find family records for my family tree. You buy credits and use them to view documents.

Is there anything similar for Irish records?

I have lots of family from Ireland and wondered where I could search records of immigrants from Ireland to Scotland? Some were only 12 and came here alone!

 

advice welcome

yes, but Irish records are pretty skimpy

Thanks JNO I knew they were a bit skimpy. I dont hold out too much hope as the name I wish to look for is also very very common!!!!

By chance, any idea which port of arrival it would have been from Ireland to Scotland?

But remember the Scots had famine of their own, along with the Highland clearances, so many of them emigrated to America and the south seas. 100,000 Highlanders left the country.
