Sailed Away


Source
Some of the old Gowens can't be traced in Ireland because they emigrated - in  particular during the Great Irish Famine (1846-52). One popular destination was the US. Here are some of records possibly related to the Cork Gowens.

The Irish Emigration website holds a huge database of comprehensive database of Irish emigration to the United States, in conjunction with the Balch Institute in Philadelphia, the Ellis Island Restoration Commission in New York and the Battery Conservancy in New York. This database is compiled directly from the original Ship’s Passenger Manifests. It records Irish, English, Scottish, and Welsh immigrants arriving at the main US ports. For the port of New York, the database covers the years between 1846 and 1890. For Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Philadelphia the database covers only the famine years between 1846 and 1851.
