A big thanks to Monica Bennett for digging up this data!!!


I get a lot of Scottish born folks who arrived between 1850 and 1800.  The bank is the Emigrants Savings Bank, which was THE Irish bank in Manhattan last century.  The accounts come mostly from NYC and its environs, but there are some from nearly every state (done by mail), and the other most common immigrants were German, English and Scottish.  These are the actual records, not an index. Monica Bennett


19th Century Bank Account Records:


Patrick Gilchriest and his wife Catherine, for their children.
He was in Co B 63rd Regt NY volunteers.  They lived at 173 West 46th Street
in Manhattan, in 1864.  He was born in 1816 in County Cavan, and she was
born there in 1836.  They arrived in NY in 1849, on the ship "Catherine".
Her maiden name was Doyle.   The URL for the site is http://www.genexchange.com/ny/index.cfm


Passenger Arrival Recored for New York City, 1820 - 1847

Some of these were so dark on the microfilm, they are just impossible to
read.  there are also some numbers which have no meaning to me, and they are
not explained.  They might be necessary to order the actual record from
NARA.  These are from an index, so not much info is given.
