THE BELFAST NEWSLETTER INDEX, 1737-1800

"The Belfast Newsletter collection contains accurate information on
births, deaths, and marriages in what is now Northern Ireland. It
provides passenger lists and shipping announcements that have recorded
immigration and emigration through the Irish port. It gives accounts and
anecdotes of the town's citizens that give substance to names listed in
church and municipal records. The Belfast Newsletter collection proves
an excellent primary resource for the study of 18th-century Irish
politics, trade, and social life."
