'''Immigration''' refers to people coming into a country. '''Emigration''' refers to people leaving a country to go to another.  Immigration records usually take the form of ship's '''passenger lists''' collected at the port of entry. See [[South Dakota Emigration and Immigration#Online Resources|'''Online Resources'''.]]

*'''Before 1820''' - Passenger lists before 1820 included '''name, departure information and arrival details'''.  The names of wives and children were often not included.

 

*'''1820-1891''' - Customs Passenger Lists between 1820 and 1891 asked for '''each immigrant’s name, their age, their sex, their occupation, and their country of origin''', but not the city or town of origin.

 

*'''1891-1954''' - Information given on passenger lists from 1891 to 1954 included:

**last residence, final destination in the U.S.,

**whether they had been to the U.S. before (and if so, when, where and how long),

**if joining a relative, who this person was, where they lived, and their relationship,

**whether in possession of a train ticket to their final destination, who paid for the passage,

**amount of money the immigrant had in their possession,

**whether the passenger had ever been in prison, a poorhouse, or in an institution for the insane,

**whether the passenger was a polygamist,  

**and immigrant's state of health.  

 

*'''1906--'''  - In 1906, the '''physical description and place of birth''' were included, and a year later, the '''name and address of the passenger’s closest living relative in the country of origin''' was included.
