Once you have found your ancestor in an index, you will want to get the actual passenger list on which that person appears.  

These microfilms can be accessed at various [[Introduction to LDS Family History Centers|family history centers]] and at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

[[Image:{{Hamburg2005}}]]In the passenger list, turn to the page number you found in the index. On some passenger lists a numbered page is followed by one or more unnumbered pages. If your ancestor's name does not appear on the numbered page, search the unnumbered page(s) immediately following it.
