   • Start at Home. Search attics and storage rooms for mementos including wedding announcements, postcards and letters sent from Ireland. These could provide names of relatives who remained in Ireland and addresses of a hometown.
   • In the Census. Check birthplaces listed on census records. You may discover that the ancestor you thought was your family’s first immigrant was actually the immigrant’s child, cousin, or in-law.
   • With Friends and Relatives. Ever notice how many people on a single page of a census seem to have been born in the same country? It could be the result of chain migration.
   • On Board a Ship or Crossing a Border. Irish immigration to North America peaked around the time of the Great Famine; official incoming Canadian passenger lists began in 1865 up to 1935, but if your ancestor arrived at an American port, those lists typically date back to around 1820.
