Ship captains kept lists of passengers to manage their finances and prevent stowaways. Later, immigration laws increased the need for passenger lists, which grew in detail. Eventually the Federal Government began to store immigrant documentation. These lists were first created to keep track of a captain's shipment and paying passengers. Later, they became a means to document immigration to the United States. Although generally reliable, passenger lists were handwritten, causing possible spelling errors.

*Add any new information to your records
*Continue to search the index and records to identify other relatives
*When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct
*You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination
