Most surviving lists of colonial Virginia immigrants have been published in various sources. Almost all names of colonial immigrants listed in published sources are indexed in P. William Filby, ''Passenger and Immigration Lists Index'', described in [[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]]. It lists several other important sources for finding information about immigrants. These nationwide sources include many references to people who settled in Virginia. This Wiki article also introduces the principles, search strategies, and additional record types you can use to identify an immigrant ancestor's original hometown.
