A time or two at genealogy events I have glanced at books on Irish research and they seemed to be primarily focused on later years than my time line. Below is a brief summary of the lines arrival and I would appreciate any suggestions as to research directions or even a book on Irish research that would actually spend some pages on the earlier era. (I do realize that I am hampered by the not knowing the parish or county of origin.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Elijah Carroll born ca 1794 in Ireland is perhaps the Elijah Carroll, age 28 school teacher listed as arriving in New York City from Belfast, Northern Ireland, on the “John Dickinson” on 5 April 1821. Certainly my Elijah’s wife Elizabeth --?—and their three oldest children, Caroline, Hester, and John, arrived in Philadelphia on the Tuscarora from Liverpool on 15 November 1823. Elijah A Carroll died 28 Oct 1851 “a native of Ireland” but his death certificate does not specify anything past Ireland. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I continue to poke and prod at the usual records on this side of the pond but since most of my family came to America in the 1600’s and my husband’s came from Prussia in the 1880’s.
