Cobh: Irische Auswanderer-Saga – Ihre Zeitreise beginnt!

Sehr lebendige Ausstellung mit tollen Eindrücken über die Geschichte der Hafenstadt Cobh(Queenstown). Der Audioguide ist auch sehr zu empfehlen und das Vorabbuchen hat sich definitiv bezahlt gemacht.

Ein ganz tolles, informatives und spannendes Museum über die Emigrationsgeschichte Irlands. Es war ausgesprochen spannend und detailliert, wir haben 1,5 Stunden hier verbracht.

Bei unserem Besuch in Cobo (das frühere Queenstown) besuchte ich das Heritage Centre. Das Eintrittsticket war ein "Passagier Contract Ticket" mit dem Namen von einem der Passagiere des Schiffs The Revenge. Die Geschichte von den fast 3 Millionen Auswandern, die von dort in eine neue Welt gefahren sind, war herzergreifend und sehr berührend. Die Ausstellung ist sehr gut gemacht. Nur zu empfehlen.

<p>Vom Schiffanleger mit dem Taxi zum Eingang Storehouse, wir konnten direkt durchgehen, keine Warteschlange o. ä.. Prima!</p>

Es war brillant und so informativ und so traurig, all die Menschen zu sehen, die Irland verlassen und nie zurückgekehrt sind

I highly recommend the genealogy research offering at the Cobh heritage centre. Christy was able to trace my ancestors back to 1760 and also unlocked a long held belief about my G.G. grandparents marriage. He was able to disprove a "taboo" my extended family has long believed true...only it was not! This revelation blew my mind. Christy found photos, and birth, marriage, and death records I had no knowledge of before. A great time spent at Cobh heritage, if you have Irish ancestry book an hour with a genealogist at Cobh!

The museum had so much information and a lot about the Titanic also. We also met with Christy Keating, the genealogist, which was very informative about my family history. Highly recommend!

Christy Keating found ancestors that I didn’t know about. He was very helpful and informative. I will be able to visit where they lived.

The museum was full of history and artifacts and the staff was extremely friendly. We were fortunate to book a session with the genealogist Christy ( sp) who was fantastic! He provided a nice overview of my ancestors and included copies of their records ( ie military enlistment WWI and census logs ) He had a wonderful sense of humor and was quite patient as I asked many questions due to my excitement with each discovery! Thanks for the great afternoon in Cobh ! Katie and Mike Crowley Portland, Maine

Set up an appointment to explore my mother's Irish ancestors. The Genealogist who worked with us was Christy Keating. He was very helpful in that he not only provided information about the probable birthplaces of our ancestors but also the historical context of when they lived in Ireland. His cheerful and engaging manner helped us look through historical records which can at times be confusing. After meeting with him, we were inspired to visit the church in northern Cork where both of my mother's parents were baptized.
