My recent article about new editions of the Gaelic American newspaper
on GenealogyBank got me thinking about the number of Irish American newspapers
that have been digitized and are available for research. Below you will find a
table of what I could find.
Irish American newspapers fall into two broad categories.
First, there are those with titles that clearly indicate that they were/are
aimed at Irish immigrants and those of Irish descent (e.g. Irish American, Irish Nation).
The second category is Catholic newspapers that had an Irish focus or were read
by large numbers of Irish immigrants and their descendants (e.g. The Pilot). It can be argued that there
is a third group of newspapers of great use to those with Irish ancestors, but
were not aimed at the Irish market. Those are the newspapers that were
published in areas where a lot of Irish lived and in which many notices and articles
of interest are contained, such as obituaries, death notices, information
wanted ads, etc (e.g. Brooklyn Daily
Eagle). This third group of titles is significantly larger, so for now,
I'll focus on those in the first two categories.
If you can add to the list, please leave a comment at the
end of this post and I will update the table.

Hi Joe,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic list!
Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University recently unveiled a new database containing about 1,500 articles and illustrations related to Ireland and the Great Famine. The database is free and available to all online. It can be accessed through the museum's website, www.ighm.org, or directly at http://www.quinnipiac.edu/IGHMCollection.
I hope this might be helpful to you or some of your readers.

There is no newspaper with more obits of Irish New Yorkers than the New York Herald and much other info related to the Irish as well. I'm a longtime subscriber to Genealogy Bank and I have found much more in the Herald than in the specifically Irish newspapers Genealogy Bank also has, especially in the 1850s-1889s. I'd call it one of the critical sources for finding that townland of origin so many of us seek.
