*Continue to search the lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives 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. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
