Mobile has been a port of entry for overseas immigrants since early colonial times. Relatively few overseas immigrants who came in the 1800s stayed in Alabama. The place to start your Alabama passenger list search is the online Immigration & Travel Collection at [http://search.ancestry.com/search/category.aspx?cat=40 Ancestry] ($). The [[Family History Library]] and the [http://www.archives.gov/ National Archives] have the following indexes and records accessible onsite in their facilities:
