Find the year the emigrant departed and the letter of the alphabet with which your ancestor’s surname begins. Names are arranged by the first letter of the surname only, so you may need to search the entire section to find the person you are looking for. | '''Instructions.

NOTE: Each letter of the alphabet was allotted only a certain number of pages. When these pages were filled, the rest of the names beginning with that letter were continued on the unused pages under another letter. There may or may not be a note indicating this happened. Therefore, search all of the end pages assigned to other letters if your ancestor’s name is not listed where it should be. | NOTE: Each letter of the alphabet was allotted only a certain number of pages.

When you find the emigrant in the index, note the number following the name. This number indicates which page the name appears on in the passenger list. In some cases page numbers are dittoed, referring to the previous page. Occasionally, large page numbers are partially dittoed. For example, pages 1086, 1087, and 1088 might appear as 1086, 87, 88. | When you find the emigrant in the index, note the number following the name.
