Queenstown was renamed Cobh.  So causes some difficulties to people who are not aware of that.
Queenstown was the last port of call in the British Isles and Europe before crossing the Atlantic.

The whole of Ireland was in the British Isles untile 1922. and had been since 1100

To further confuse the issue..........Cove was renamed Queenstown in 1849.

It was just a question of reverting back to it's original name.......

Cobh is Irish for Cove.

Lissa- very intersting about differences between Ellis Island and Ancestry. Would have assumed that a scanned image would always be the same but maybe not so.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

It's actually a bit scary because when you look at a scanned image you think that it's like looking at an original document.

Re: John Hansen of New Rochelle, New York.  He was my cousin on my Grandmothers side.  His mother Betsy ( Elizabeth McCormick) was my grandmother's sister. My Grandmother was Margaret Jane Nichols. John died and is buried in New Rochelle. My grandmother was born in Roscommon.
