REFERENCE GUIDES LIBRARY OF CONGRESS - HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DIVISION ISSN 0163-1357 No. 6 IMMIGRANT ARRIVALS A Guide to Published Sources Compiled by Virginia Steele Wood Local History and Genealogy Reading Room A new surge of interest in the subject of immigration--embarkation from the Old World, the voyage, arrival, and adjustment in America- -has been sparked in recent years by the nation's bicentennial in 1976 and publicity surrounding restoration of both the Statue of Liberty, unveiled in 1986, and the Ellis Island Immigration Station that was in operation from 1892 to 1954. These two significant historical landmarks attracted the attention of millions of Americans throughout the nation during a particularly memorable televise celebration in New York City on the Fourth of Jul 1986. In 1992 the Ellis Island Restoration Commission plans to open a Family History Center in conjunction with the Ellis Island Centennial; its intent is to provide for public use a computer database containing such data as the names, physical characteristics, country of origin, place of embarkation, and name of ship of all individuals who passed through the island's immigration facility during the period 1892-1954. In the study of immigration history, ship passenger lists have become increasingly important sources of data for historians, demographers, biographers, and genealogists. This is particularly true in the United States where forebears of all but native American Indians arrived by ship from colonial times until the advent and popularity of air travel. Between the years 1607 and 1902, it is estimated that over thirty million immigrants came to these shores; during the past two centuries, over half of them came through the port of New York. Although a number of passenger lists have survived from the colonial period through the early part of the nineteenth century, there was no uniform code or system or even requirement to document incoming passengers until after the War of 1812. On March 2, 1819, Congress passed an Act Regulating Passenger Vessels (ch. 46, 3 Stat., 489) designed to protect passengers arriving from foreign ports against overcrowding and inadequate provisions, as well as to proved statistical data on foreign trade. Section 5 of this act required the ships' masters to file with the district collector of customs a manifest (or list) of all passengers who boarded at a foreign port. It was to include each passenger's name, age, sex, and occupation; the country to which he or she belonged; the country of which he or she intended to become an inhabitant; an a list of deaths that occurred during the voyage. On March 3, 1853, Congress passed legislation designated an Act to Regulate the Carriage of Passengers in Steamships and Other Vessels (ch. 213, 10 Stat., 715). In addition to requirements covered by the Act of 1819, it specified the requirements for health and safety and ships' masters were to indicate the class in which each passenger traveled--cabin or steerage. Throughout the following decade as immigration of foreign laborers was encouraged, legislation was passed to protect their rights. Beginning in the 1870s, a backlash against the importation of contract labor developed and restrictive legislation was passed excluding those considered undesirable, such as lunatics, idiots, the indigent, and those convicted of political offenses. In the twentieth century, as additional restrictions were placed on immigration, significantly more data were collected about each immigrant admitted in the United States. Documents created under these and other congressional acts that have particular significance for researchers are the Customs Passenger Lists of 1820-1905, and the Immigration Passenger Lists of 1883-1945. Some indexes for these lists are available at the National Archives and Records Administration, 8th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20408. In addition, the Archives has a few baggage lists and cargo manifests that name passengers as early as 1798, but they are fragmentary. A discussion of these surviving lists, transcripts, and copies, the ports for which they were available, and their limitations and significance for researchers is found in the _Guide to Genealogical Research in the National Archives_ (Washington, National Archives and Records Service, 1982) p. 41-57. No lists were required for people entering the United States overland form Canada and Mexico until Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1891 (ch. 26, Stat., 1084). In addition to excluding those suffering form "loathsome or contagious diseases," the Law provided for medical examinations at what became the first United states immigration inspection stations along the Canadian border. It was calculated that approximately forty percent of the passengers arriving in Canada were bound for the United States. In 1909, District 1 of the U.S. Immigration Service was established at Montreal and encompassed the entire Canadian border. The headquarters were later moved to St. Albans, Vermont, where the Immigration and Naturalization Service microfilmed its five series of immigrant records and Soundex indexes covering the period 1895 to 1954. That material is now available as a microfilm publication from the National Archives and Records Administration (address above). In 1978, after thee National Archives had microfilmed many of their passenger manifests, the originals were loaned to Temple University in Philadelphia for the purpose of compiling statistics on the social, economic, and genetic aspects of immigration, a project directed by Dr. Ira A Glazier. Subsequently this effort became a joint project of the newly established Temple-Balch Center for Immigration Research. For convenience all the manifests were deposited at the Balch Institute of Ethnic Studies where storage facilities were available for the thousands of large bound volumes weighing a total of approximately eleven tons. In transcribing data from these passenger lists to computer terminals, Dr. Glazier acceded to a request that his team include information to benefit those involved in research concerning immigration and immigrant ancestors. The initial result was a computerized list of passengers that was published as _The Famine Immigrants: Lists of Irish Immigrants Arriving at the Port of New York, 1846-1851._ 7 vol. (Baltimore, Genealogical Pub. Co., 1983- 1986). Dr. Glazier's team is currently working on lists of German immigrants, 1850-1890; East European immigrants, 1880-1913; and Italian immigrants, 1880-1913. The first publication resulting from this second major undertaking is a series of volumes entitled _Germans to America: Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S. Ports, 1850-1855 (Wilmington, Scholarly Resources, 1988-). While his work is in progress, it is important to note that under no circumstances can the Temple-Balch Center conduct any research or respond to any questions about individuals whose names may appear on the original passenger manifests. Many passenger lists, created both before and after passage of the act 1819, have been published in a wide variety of books, journal articles, and special publications. An early attempt to locate them and to index the ships' names was made in 1938 by Harold Lancour, who compiled _A Bibliography of Ship Passenger Lists, 1538-1835; a third edition was revised and enlarged by Richard J. Wolfe (New York, New York Public Library, 1963). Beginning in the 1980s, P. William Filby and Mary K. Meyer launched a project to consolidate all known published passenger lists and edit a master index of names from these lists. The result was a three volume work, _Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. A Guide to Published Arrival Records of About 500,000 Passengers Who Came to the United States and Canada in the Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Centuries (Detroit, Gale Research Co, 1981); annual supplement have been issued since 1982. Currently these volumes include some 1,275,000 names taken from approximately nine hundred sources. Since the plan is to publish annually one supplement of approximately 125,000 names, the editor's intention is to include small passenger lists form such sources as journal articles and books. Hence, the names from very large undertakings such as the seven-volume _Famine Immigrants, 1846-1851_, will be included some years in the future. It is important for researchers to be aware of the companion works compiled by P. William Filby, _Passenger and Immigration Lists Bibliography, 1538-1900, Being a Guide to published Lists of Arrivals in the United States and Canada (Detroit, Gale Research Co., 1981) and its supplement (1984), which together contain some two thousand sources. Hundreds of passenger lists not yet included in the _Passenger Lists Index_ are cited. Because these major publications are available in many research libraries, no attempt is made in this reference guide to duplicate that effort. Interesting in immigrant ancestors has gone far beyond finding names on ship passenger lists. Today's researcher is often keen to discover motivations for leaving the mother country, to find first- hand descriptions of the crossing, to ferret out information about particular immigrant ships, and to study conditions encountered on arrival in the New World and the dispersal of various ethnic groups throughout the country. This guide is provided as an introduction to the type and variety of books available concerning these topics, including recent publications and reprints of earlier works. Passenger Lists Baca, Leo.

JV6614 .S44 In the century between 1815 and the eve of World War I, some seventeen million persons immigrated from Great Britain, approximately eighty percent of them to North America. This movement resulted from urban and rural discontent due to the industrial revolution, rapid population growth, natural disasters, and other factors. It was encouraged by travelers, intellectuals, humanitarians, businessmen, and common folk and by profit-motivated agents who attempted to direct the newcomers to specific areas. This study examines and critically appraises contemporary sources including "periodicals, diaries, letters, emigrant guide books, and travel accounts." Taylor, Philip A. M.

F160.R3 G3 LC copy replaced by microfilm (no. 54909). In general, indentured servants were adult white persons from Britain and the continent who were bound out to labor from two to seven years and included three classes: the redemptioners or free willers who sold their services in exchange for passage to America; those who were kidnapped or were forced out of the mother country because of poverty or political or religious reasons; and convicts. During the late 1600s until 1730 the majority were English; between 1730 and the early 1800s they were principally German and Scotch- Irish. The history of redemptioners and indentured servants in the eighteenth and nineteenth century in Philadelphia includes a discussion of fraudulent means used by unscrupulous agents for recruiting in Europe, and the establishment of benevolent societies to aid the impoverished newcomers.
