It is important to note that Irish immigration to Canada began several decades before the Irish Potato Blight of the mid-19th century. However, the sheer numbers of Irish immigrants during the mid-1800s has drawn more interest over the years by virtue of the conditions under which many were forced to leave their homeland. In this section we present the listings of those souls to arrive in New Brunswick during the "famine" years and whatever additional information available from the ships logs during that period. An Introduction by the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick to this category of records can be found at the following address: http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/PrivRecs/IrishFamine/Default.aspx?L=EN&PageLoad=Intro

These details sometimes give the condition of the person when they arrived, notes, or other comments of interest to a researcher. At the bottom of each page you will find contact infromation if you would like to contact the Archives directly.
