"If you are looking for an arrival, you need to look at the port of arrival, and not worry about where they left from necessarily.
"Irish emigrants either left from Queenstown (Cork), or Liverpool, depending on where in Ireland they were and if they went to live there for a time before boarding. That's why so many researchers are under the misconception that their relatives came "from Cork". Some also left from Edinburgh, or even London.
"In any case, if you know where they arrived, and hopefully a time frame, you can rather easily search the microfilms of arrivals for that port. Use the information on my Hints page, url below, for both NY arrivals and Other US ports."
