Passenger lists of paying immigrants usually list only names.

Our aim has been to gather as many South Australian passenger lists as possible between 1836 and the 1860s. To December 2004 we have over 2000, most of which are now available for you to view. We also have a number of passenger lists for ships which arrived in South Australia after the 1860s. A Database has also been created from all these passenger lists currently 52,000 families. We are currently considering how to make this available to you as a searchable database (possible on a CD).<br> | Our aim has been to gather as many South Australian passenger lists as possible between 1836 and the 1860s.
