Family Archive CD 354: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1538-1940 click here for more

This Family Archive contains listings of approximately 2,750,000 individuals who arrived in United States ports between 1538 and 1940. Compiled by Gale Research, these records can provide valuable family history information to those with immigrant ancestors. This information was collected from published passenger lists, naturalization records, church records, family and local histories, as well as voter and land registrations.

What you can find on this Family Archive CD: For each individual listed, you will find the following information:

Name and age of immigrant
Year and place of immigration
Full source information
Source code of immigration record
Names of family members with whom they traveled

This knowledge may help you determine additional information such as the name of the ship on which your ancestors sailed and the location of their naturalization. For your convenience and to make this important reference fully accessible, Broderbund has provided an electronic name index that allows you to search for your ancestors quickly and easily.
