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

Starting in 1820, the US federal government required capitans to turn in passenger lists.&nbsp; The early lists usually named every passenger, but little else.&nbsp; Over time, the government required more information.&nbsp; By 1900, the lists required name, age, occupation, country of origin, destination, name of a sponsor, amount of money carrying, etc.&nbsp; Many immigrants went through Ellis Island.

After 1957, few passenger lists were submitted to the government.&nbsp; Alien records and naturalization records are more useful than the passenger lists and are easier to obtain.
