About New York Emigrant Savings Bank, 1850-1883

The Emigrant Savings Bank was established in 1850 by members of the Irish Emigrant Society. The bank ended up serving thousands of Irish immigrants who fled to America following the infamous Potato Famine. The bank kept many volumes of records including an Index Book; a Test Book; a Transfer, Signature, and Test Book; and a Deposit-Account Ledger. There is an index to these records providing the given name and surname of the depositor, their account number, account date, and year and place of birth, if given.
