Where did the Irish go when there was a potato famine?

Answer 1

Yes, though the majority of the info out there is in regard to the American emigrations.

Here's a snippet I found online whilst researching my fiction novel:

The Famine in Ireland between 1845 and 1850 and forced migration across the Atlantic and also to Australia, England and Scotland. The result of this was an influx of Irish people into Scotland. To find out more about the Famine, visit http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/famine/.

Answer 2

The Irish went to countries, like England, Canada, Australia, USA and many others. On arriving in the various countries, they spread around to different parts of them. As a result, today the descendants of Irish people of the 19th century are found in many parts of many countries.
