Other information
Most main libraries in Northern Ireland are linked into the Emigration Database - a service of the Ulster American Folk Park, Mellon Road, Castletown, Omagh, Co. Tyrone BT78 5QY. Tel: 01662 243292, fax: 01662 242241. Although primarily for the study of emigration, already on the ever-expanding database are many ships' passenger lists which may be useful to genealogists.
