About the Passenger Lists to and From Ireland
Cork Harbor
(also called Cobh and Queenstown)
From 1848 - 1950 over 6 million adults and children emigrated from Ireland - over 2.5 million departed from Cobh, making it the single most important port of emigration. This exodus from Ireland was largely as a result of poverty, crop failures, the land system and a lack of opportunity. Irish emigration reached unprecedented proportions during the famine as people fled from hunger and disease.
/ Searching the Name
01
It has been my understanding that all passenger lists have not been digitized at this time. I know of many Normoyle/iles that have not been found on any passenger list, and I hope this is because the list has not being digitized, and not through improper spelling or poor image quality.
This is the most updated list for Normoyle/iles. Variations occuring through spelling and typographical errors could have occured by the phoenetic pronunciation of the name when said to the captain, or possibly on the transcribers part.

In 1846, the ship fare from Ireland to Quebec was about 6 pounds for a man, his wife, and 4 children. The fare to NY was about 21 pounds. With this fact in mind, you might check other ports of entry other than the main port, NYC.(source: Magnus Magnusson, 1978. Landlord or Tenant?: A View of Irish History)
