Annie, Anthon & Fillik

Noticed that FindMyPast added another decade's worth of departure records from the UK, so had to go playing again. Now they have the records for 1890-1919 (minus the Titanic, which they intend to add shortly).

This time I spotted a record that had eluded me before: Annie Moore, the first immigrant through Ellis Island, leaving Ireland for New York. Check out the image below.

It was interesting to see that she's listed as 15, although we now know that's off by a couple of years. But it was her brothers' names that I was most entertained by -- little Anthon and Fillik, good Irish names!

BTW, in an earlier post about FindMyPast, I included Bob Hope's departure record. Take a peek, if you're interested.
