I was reviewing some Ellis Island immigrant ship manifests for some of my Irish ancestors and noticed that one column titled "Immigration Visa" contains a date of issue, Irish place of issue and an ID number. Can anyone tell me if this information is of any value in finding out more about a particular immigrant prior to his arrival in the US? Are there more detailed records somewhere in Ireland that pertain to these immigration visa applications?
Thanks,
Joe
