The Genealogy.com immigration databases have been added to this subscription in order to make it the most complete set of immigration records.  These databases contain over 2 million names including early passenger lists from 1820 - 1850.  Aproximately 2.4 million immigrants arrived during this period, many from Ireland and Germany.

If you have ancestors from Ireland and German, this could be an invaluable database.  The Irish potato famine lasted from 1846 - 1847 and spurred a massive exodus to the United States.  Furthermore, the failed German revolution in 1848 caused mass emigration.
