Samuel and Margaret Wiggins along with their two children Andrew, perhaps 2 years old and Nancy, 1 year. Left the County of Antrim, in 1772 or there about, according to stories that have been told down through the years in my family. I have not been able to open any ship recods at PRONI or church records to search. If there is anyone within your group that may have an idea how I could gain this information. please, please email me.
Regards,
Nancy

Only a few of PRONI?s most popular records are on-line. The majority are not, and a personal visit is required to access them. However in respect of passenger records for people who left c 1772, none exist (no authority required any to be kept at that time).
Unless you have information, from US sources, as to where your ancestors lived in Antrim, you will find it fairly difficult to trace them in Ireland due to the lack of records for that era.
