The records of port arrivals and departures of migrants are called passenger lists. The information in these lists varies over time but usually includes the names of the emigrants, ages, occupations, and destinations. In addition, relationships and last residence or birthplace may be given. Lists of passengers leaving England before 1890 do not survive. Passenger lists are available for many of the ports of arrival in New Zealand. | The records of port arrivals and departures of migrants are called passenger lists.
