This page is for links to anything telling of the insurgence of immigrants from Ireland to Louisville and Jefferson County. There is a great Irish presence here and this page hopes to bring you closer to your ancestral home.  In your research, it is hoped you will find others who also traveled here during the same time period as your own family, and with a little bit of luck, help you celebrate and appreciate the process.  Send an email to your coordinator if you have links to share or add to this page.

Throughout the years from 1840 to the 1890s, there were many immigrants from Wexford County, Ireland to America that were on ships that stopped at New Orleans first before going on to other US ports.  Most of the records were from hospitals in New Orleans that treated the ill.  Many of the death lists are of people that died after reaching New Orleans.  Much of this info can be found in the Louisiana Parish Death Records at their US GenWeb site.  It's worth a look.  Perhaps you lost someone here......
