queenstown to new york

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.

aghadowey,  I'm lookiong into that now with some of my own people where I know the ship/dates/ages to see if info has variations......if it wasn't hard enought already 

[aghadowey]

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.

It was New Rochelle and not New Rochester.
