I know my ancestors arrived in New York on May 20, 1857 Macia C Day from Liverpool to NY. I also know they were born in Ireland. How do I find their records/ relations on the Irish side? I do not know what county they came from.
Ann Short born 1817 mother
Thomas Short born 1839 Ireland, died 1879 NY, son
Sarah Short born 1850 Ireland, daughter.
thank you, Karen

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The surname Short although not a very common name was found in many counties in the mid-19th century.
I did searched=s on two sites and did not find any good leads for your Short family. We would really need to know Ann's maiden name and her husbands name also to see if any records are available.
Let us know if you have additional information.

ok thanks, I will keep looking!

There should be some information for sure because the majority finds their roots very easy. Usually they call special agencies from Ireland which are specialized in family tree which also includes more detailed information, but I can't really remember how much it costs. Anyway it is quite expensive so be ready to pay more than you think. Also, there are who have a huge database and also can help you with some information. My wife is asian and she got citizenship through spousal sponsorship. That way we found out that he has relatives there through agencie's database.
