'''To search this collection by name:'''<br>Fill in the requested information on the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.

{{HR Tip|More images are available in the FamilySearch Catalog {{FSC|1916040|item|disp=Michigan, Detroit Manifests of Arrivals at the Port of Detroit, 1906-1954}}. Some catalog records link to multiple references. In this case, click on a reference to find a camera icon to see images.}}


'''To browse by image:'''<br>To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:<br> ⇒Select Browse through images on the initial collection page <br> ⇒Select the "Name Range" category which takes you to the images
=== How Do I Analyze the Results? ===
 
Compare each result from your search with what you know to determine if there is a match. This may require viewing multiple records or images. Keep track of your research in a [[Use_Appropriate_Forms#Prepare_a_Research_Log |research log]].
Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
== What Do I Do Next? ==
 
With either search keep in mind:
*There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
*You may not be sure of your own ancestor’s name.
*Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
 
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article [[FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks]].
 
== What Do I Do Next? ==
 
When you have located your ancestor’s record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example, use passenger lists to:


=== I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?  ===
*Add any new information to your records
Use passenger lists to:
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin  
*Learn an immigrant’s place of origin  
*Confirm their date of arrival  
*Confirm their date of arrival  
*Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
*Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
== Tips to Keep in Mind  ==
*If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
*Continue to search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
*If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
*Arrival lists was used by legal authorities to gather personal information about immigrants prior to the person being allowed to live in the United States.
*The information was supplied by the immigrant or a traveling companion (usually a family member). Incorrect information was occasionally given, or mistakes may have been made when the clerk guessed at the spelling of foreign names.
== I Can't Find Who I'm Looking For, Now What?  ==
*Check for variant spellings of the name.
*Look for other indexes. Records are often indexed by local historical and genealogical societies.
*Search the passenger lists year by year.
*Search the indexes of other port cities.
