Taylor's Views of
the Famine.
Note: Because these records come from different sources, there may be more than
one record per individual. Each record contains fifteen different information
fields detailing the emigrant's: 1: Name; 2: Age; 3: Religion; 4: Town -
Village - County of Origin; 5: Vessel; 6: Port of Origin; 7: Port Landed; 8:
Date Landed in New Brunswick; 9: Location in New Brunswick; 10: Died /
Discharged / Transferred (for Alms House Records); 11: Date of Death /
Discharge / Transfer; 12: Date of Admittance (Alms House); 13: Condition
(reason for admittance to Alms House); 14: Notes (detailing various personal
and professional insights concerning the emigrants as recorded by contemporary
media and government agencies), and finally 15: the Reference where the
information is located. Unfortunately not all of the fields contain
information. Blank fields have been omitted in the index below to conserve
space.
