*1854-1910 '''''Handwritten Index to Indirect''''' Passenger Lists

No single index lists everyone. Each index covers different years and has its individual strengths and weaknesses. If the emigrant departed between 1850 and 1854, search the alphabetical passenger list for those years. If the emigrant departed between 1856 and 1871, search the fifteen-year index or two sets of Klüber Index first. If the person is not listed in these, you will need to search the Handwritten Index to the Direct Lists, and then then the Handwritten Index to the Indirect Lists.  
'''''No single index lists everyone.''''' Each index covers different years and has its individual strengths and weaknesses. If the emigrant departed between 1890 and 1913 check the computer index first. If the emigrant departed between 1850 and 1854, search the alphabetical passenger list for those years, or the Kluber Index 2. If the emigrant departed between 1856 and 1871, search the fifteen-year index or two sets of Klüber indexes first. If the person is not listed in these, you will need to search the handwritten index to the Direct Lists, and then then the handwritten index to the Indirect Lists.

Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have regular indexes. The indexes are divided into segments that cover one year or part of a year. The '''''direct indexes''''' begin in 1854 and end in 1934. The '''''indirect indexes''''' begin in 1854 and end in 1910. <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors -->
