I am trying to track down information about the passenger ship and hopefully
the birthplace in Ireland of my great grandmother Bridget CULLEN. The
census shows birth dates ranging from 1830 to 1838, but 1830 seems most
plausible.
She was married to Michael QUAIL, perhaps originally MCQUAIL, also born in
Ireland, probably in 1825. I don't know whether their marriage took place
in Ireland or the US, so I don't know whether they came over on the same
ship and if her name was QUAIL already when she came. They used the family
name QUAIL from the 1860 through 1880 census, but by 1900 they were using
QUALE, my last name.
The 1900 census at the Martin TULLY family says Bridget immigrated to the US
in 1857. Family lore says 'they landed at SAVANNAH', and 'they dropped the
MC', but I don't know how reliable either of those beliefs are. Their
oldest child was born 1859, in Orange New Jersey, and their descendants have
lived in the Orange NJ area ever since. Thanks for any help.

Hello Paul,
Here are a couple of webpages that may help you...
Supplemental Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Atlantic &
Gulf Coast Ports (Excluding New York) 1820-1874 (microfilm)
http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/miscpo ... ental.html
That index includes some Savannah, Georgia arrivals 1820-1868.

Hi Paul
You can try online lists - start at IRISH TO USA at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/irishtousa.shtml
To browse online lists from Ireland, go to
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/irish_index.shtml
Once you know your ancestor's state of entry, you can
search
microfilms. Most states are indexed, so this will make your
job
slightly easier. You can order films in to a nearby Family
History Centre, or have NARA do the job (once you have
precise
details)
Once you know your state, you can get a list of film
numbers
(NARA & FHC) at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nar ... port.shtml
Scroll down to the state you want and click on the link,
then find the film # you need
Also, if you can find their Naturalization Papers you may
find a more precise date of immigration. This will allow
you to get microfilms and look for their ship and passenger
list.
For help with Naturalization Records see

Good luck!

Re: Passenger Bridget CULLEN, to the US in 1857
Thank you Alan, that looks like a good lead. Thanks too to Lorine and Joe
for the links and tips. I'm just getting started again on a long-deferred
family tree effort (the last notes I have are from a trip to the National
Archives in Atlanta 10 years ago). I've had an exhilarating two weeks
online, and have managed to put together a good skeleton Legacy file that
goes back several generations, and all without ever having to get out of the
chair. Now it's time to flesh it out and I guess I'll have to leave the
house.<g>
I have already learned a lot of cool things I didn't set out to learn, like
the real name of my Aunt Sweetie, and what some of her neighbors in 1880 New
York were doing to make a living. But what the heck is a Cigar Walker?
(Rhetorical question, Google doesn't know either).
Regards,
Paul
