"For those hoping to use this series to find a particular ancestor, they are likely to be disappointed for these records do not contain many lists of immigrants (although there are a few, which are noted).  If, however, the researcher is interested in documenting the experiences and plight of their ancestors who were involved in the several waves of immigration, this series is will prove valuable.  From violations of the Passenger Act to disease and death in the Immigrant Station at Partridge Island, this series is noteworthy for the amount of detail it contains regarding the conditions of the immigrants, especially those from Ireland, on their arrival in New Brunswick.  As well, there is a fairly detailed record of the passenger ships which arrived in the peak years of 1814 to 1867.<ref>"Provincial Secretary Administration Records", Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, https://archives.gnb.ca/Irish/Databases/ImmigrationRecords/FindingAid.aspx?culture=en-CA#B1a3a3, accessed 13 November 2020.</ref>

In the years between 1847 and 1856 nearly 6000 “surplus” or unviable tenants from the Fitzwilliam Estate, County Wicklow, Ireland were sent across the Atlantic to Canada. The estate was over 85,000 acres, covering one-fifth of the entire county of Wicklow and had more than 20,000 tenants. 383 of these tenants were sent to St. Andrews, New Brunswick on the Star, their voyage funded by their landlord. They had been promised three months’ work on railroad construction in New Brunswick, after which they might be kept on. In comparison to the vast majority of famine emigrants, they appear to have been in an enviable position. However, they were received by an ill equipped emigrant welfare system and a railway company unprepared for their numbers. The experience of these emigrants highlights the inadequacies and conditions they met with upon starting a new life in New Brunswick, including periods of continued destitution and reliance on the province for support. Yet, despite these issues a large number of Star immigrants remained in and contributed to St. Andrews and the surrounding area with lasting results. This database contains the records of those families who left the Fitzwilliam Estate on the Star during these clearances.<ref>"Fitzwilliam Estate Emigration Books, 1847-1856", PANB, https://archives.gnb.ca/Irish/Databases/Fitzwilliam/?culture=en-CA, accessed 13 November 2020.</ref>

===Irish Teacher Petitions, 1816-1858===

Irish immigrants in New Brunswick taught in one-third of New Brunswick schools by the mid nineteenth century, the majority quickly becoming licensed teachers shortly after their arrival and remaining in the profession. Teachers’ petitions from Irish immigrants requesting a license or payment for teaching services contain biographical information including '''names, country of birth, education, teaching experience, church affiliation, samples of handwriting and certificates from local school trustees or clergymen verifying the character and abilities of the petitioner.'''
