The main port of entry to Wisconsin was Milwaukee, but no passenger lists are available for it or for other Wisconsin ports.  This was an important route, particularly for the Norwegian immigrants.
There are Canadian border crossing records for 1895–1949 (Family History Library films {{FHL|452590|title-id|disp=1561087–499}}) and soundex indexes for 1895–1924 (Family History Library films {{FHL|452590|title-id|disp=1472801–3201}}) and 1924–1952 (Family History Library films {{FHL|452590|title-id|disp=1570714–811}}).
An important nationwide source for locating published information about immigrants who came to America before about 1920 is P. William Filby, ''Passenger and Immigration Lists Index''. (See [[United States Emigration and Immigration]].)
The Family History Library and the National Archives have passenger lists or indexes for American ports for the years 1800–1921 for Philadelphia, 1820–1943 for Boston and New York, and 1865–1900 for Canadian ports. Indexes have been published for many ethnic groups, such as the Czechs (1846–), Italians (1880–), Germans (1850–), Greeks (1885–), and Russians (1875–). More detailed information on immigration sources is in [[United States Emigration and Immigration]].
