Irish Immigrant Advertisements placed in The Boston Pilot 1831-1920. With a circulation that spanned the continent, the Pilot newspaper essentially acted as a missing persons bureau for those seeking to be reunited with friends and relations. These messages tell poignant stories of the nineteenth-century immigrant experience, whether in Boston's crowded streets or the wide open spaces of Wisconsin, working in the textile mills or on the railroad. Many advertisements contain references to townlands and parishes of origin in Ireland, dates and places of arrival in North America, physical descriptions, and confirmation of family relationships. No Irish historian can be without this impressive research tool!
