Maryland Emigration and Immigration: Difference between revisions

&nbsp;<u>'''Pre-1820'''</u>

Most ship records before&nbsp;1820&nbsp;contain little information about the passengers.&nbsp; Generally the list of passengers&nbsp;was a partial list and included names only of the most important people.&nbsp;&nbsp;Women and children were often not listed.&nbsp; Records were kept by ship's capitans.&nbsp; The capitans did not need to give their records to anyone, so they kept the records, destroyed them&nbsp;or did not keep any records.&nbsp; Most of the records that survive have been published.&nbsp; Use the ''Passenger and Immigration Lists Index'' to find these records (see below).
