Opening note: If you don't find your ancestor's passenger list online (some have not been indexed or transcribed yet), you can still search offline using the available indexes and microfilmed records. The Finding Passenger Lists Guide is a good starting point for locating US arrivals from European ports. This webpage is divided into three main sections: US Arrival Records, International Arrivals & Departures, and General Sites. Items marked "requires payment" are part of Ancestry's online genealogy records collection. United States Passenger Lists & Records (Arrivals)
