[https://saintsbysea.lib.byu.edu/ Saints by Sea], a website hosted by the Harold B. Lee Library of BYU, is perhaps the most comprehensive sourse for finding information about Latter-day Saint companies and individuals crossing the ocean. It provides a place for historical and genealogical research into the world-wide migration records and history about the 19th and 20th century movement of thousands of immigrants from many nations who are part of the membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It brings together passenger lists, journals and other historical sources relating to the journey, as well as an extensive bibliography. Many of the sources cited below are contained on this website.

====Microfilm search strategy====
If your ancestor traveled across the ocean to the United States with a Church company, follow these steps to locate microfilmed materials:
1. Use the indexes listed in "Indexes to Passenger Lists," below, to find out the voyage on which an ancestor came.
2. Find the voyage in the {{FHL|474641|title-id|disp=Worldwide LDS Ship Register}}, which is described later in this section, and record the following information:
*Name of Ship
*Date of departure and the microfilm number of the Church emigration register.
*Date of arrival and the microfilm number of the United States passenger list.
3. Obtain the microfilms of the Church emigration register and the United States passenger list.
4. On the film of the Church emigration register, look chronologically for the date of departure. Then look on the United States passenger list for the date of arrival.
5. Find the ship. (Ship’s names are recorded at the top of each page of a passenger list.)
6. Read the names of the passengers to find your ancestor.
If your ancestor did not emigrate to the United States with a Church company, check the following Wiki articles for records and strategies:
*Find the article on "Emigration and Immigration" for the nation from which he or she came and search for "LDS."
*[[United States Emigration and Immigration]].
*[[Tracing Immigrant Origins]].
