Caroline...
Cannot find the passenger list for the Switzerland out of Cobh 1903...Have checked Ellis Island data base and the only one for the Switzerland is out of Breman 1901....No Irish passengers listed
Maybe someone else can double check for you.

My G.Grandfather Michael Joseph was born in Ballymahon 28.10.1878. He had older brothers Francis and Williamof whom I have no information.I know his mother was Anne Geaghan born 1847 but have no information about his father Francis except that he worked for the British Army in India as a surveyor. Any help would be great.
