immigration entry points?

Legg inn av mwebsurfer » 20 mar 2007 02:31:41

I'm looking for my grandfathers record of entry into the US
but have been unable to find him in the Ellis Island site.
His name was Andrew Carmichael and he came from Ireland. On
a 1910 Census he says he was naturalized in 1890. Are there
any other ports where he could have arrived or other records
that I can search for which county in Ireland he came from?
From his death certificate I learned who his parents were and
that he was 54 and was born in 1872. Any help will be
appreciated. Many thanks to those who replied to a previous
post.

Where was he in 1910? Or 1900 for that matter?

There were literally dozens of ports, large and small, he
could have entered. Not to mention the Canada/US border
crossings.

Most of those records have to be searched by hand from
microfilm, but you might get lucky at the Olive Tree
Genealogy site.

Ellis Island didn't open until 1892. You can try the Castle Garden site
here
http://www.castlegarden.org/

Also, I recommend you review this site since it discusses US Ports of
arrival and their passenger lists for 1820-1957.

Websurfer: Have you seen his tombstone? Many US tombstones of Irish
immigrants state their place of origin. Also his church marriage
record, if any (or even church histories or anniversary books).
Children's birth records also ask parent's place of birth, but many
just say country. You might get lucky.
BTW, Ellis Island won't work since it doesn't index manifests before 1892.

On the 1920 census, it says that he immigrated in 1885 or 1887 (tough to
read, looks like the enumerator wrote one and then changed it to the other,
but who knows which was first or last) and that he was naturalized in 1889,
so don't restrict yourself to the 1890 immigration date. The closest match I
can find in the 1885-1890 range is on Ancestry.com:

Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945
Name: Aud Carmichael
Arrival Date: 26 Apr 1887
Age: 18 Years
Estimated birth year: abt 1869
Gender: Male
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: British Prince
Port of Arrival: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Last Residence: Ireland
Birthplace: Ireland
Microfilm Roll Number: T840_8

The "Aud" looks like an abbreviation of Andrew to me. I liked the look of
the Andrew Carmichael arriving in NY in 1887 on the Furnessia, but I was
able to track that family to where they settled in New Haven, CT.

Dear Tara: thanks for your help. I can use Ancestry.com at my library.

Where would I find this microfilm roll? National Archives?

Sorry, I should have asked if you had Ancestry. I'll send you the image via
email, but it's pretty bare-bones info. No way to tell for sure if it's your
guy.
