What counties did most of the Irish Famine Immigrants come from?
I found many websites about the Irish Potato Famine but there did not seem to be any data about which counties the majority of the emigrants came from. I found a couple of sites that had a small table showing the decline in population 1841-51 in the four provinces of Ireland:- Connaught : 28.8% Munster : 22.5% Ulster : 15.7% Leinster : 15.3% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famin… http://www.irelandinformationguide.com/I… “To this day, historians disagree about how many Irish people died or emigrated in the mid-19th century. In fact, no one is sure exactly how many people lived in Ireland at the start of the famine! By most estimates, about 8 or 9 million people lived in the country before 1850, and there were only a little under 4.5 million in 1911—so you can do the math yourself.”
