The Famine Immigrants: Immigrants with the Surname

Desmond Landing at the Port of New York, 1846-1851

Compiled by William Desmond

The Almighty Indeed sent the Potato Blight, but the English Created the Famine

-- John Mitchel

     The published volumes from which this list was compiled were created from the original ship manifests at the Balch Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Numbers enclosed in brackets included in the entries refer to the volume and page number in these volumes: The Famine Immigrants: Lists of Irish Immigrants Landing at the Port of New York, 1846-1851,Ira A. Glazier, editor, Michael Tepper, associate editor, 7 vols. (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1983-1986).

     The entries are arranged chronologically according to the name of the ship on which the immigrants arrived. The date following the name of the ship is the date of arrival. The port is the name of the port from which the ship embarked. Names on successive lines in the passenger manifests are separated by a semi-colon. Names of passengers arriving on the same ship that are not on successive lines have been separated by a dash (--). This was done in an attempt to preserve family relationships that may be ascertained from the manifests. However, it should not be assumed that simply because names are not on successive lines no family relationship exists. The information provided in the entries is: name, age, sex, occupation. Abbreviations of names have been retained as in the original. Because of this, searching the list may require using only the first few letters of a given name as a search key. Browsing the entire list may, in some cases, be necessary. Variant forms of the surname "Desmond," such as "Desmone," "Dismond," etc. have been retained, as well..

     The relevant microfilm sets available through the National Archives are: Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, N.Y., 1820-1897 (M237, 675 rolls, DP) and Registers of Vessels Arriving at the Port of New York from Foreign Ports, 1789-1919 (M1066, 27 rolls, DP). These contain images of the original passenger manifests.
