 *Beginning about 1830, many settlers came from '''Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York'''. Eventually, settlers from the middle Atlantic states and Ohio outnumbered those from the Southern slave states.
 *Indiana did not attract as many overseas immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century as other Midwestern states. Over half of those who came to Indiana directly from overseas were of '''German''' origin, with the '''Irish''' a distant second. Most of the present Indiana population is of '''English, Scottish, Irish, or German descent'''.
 *Around 1900, East Chicago, Gary, and South Bend attracted '''Polish and other eastern and southern European immigrants.'''

-=== Major Ports of Entry  ===
-Evansville was made a United States port of entry in 1856, but there are no passenger lists. Evansville was the gateway to Indiana for overseas immigrants coming by way of New Orleans. There are passenger lists available on microfilm through the National Archives and the Family History Library from New Orleans for 1820 to 1952, and indexes for 1820 to 1850 and 1853 to 1952. After about 1857, when the railroads were completed, the majority of immigrants arrived through eastern ports, such as New York.
-More information on immigration sources can be found in [[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]] and [[United States Emigration and Immigration|United States Emigration and Immigration]].
-'''Publications Listing Immigrants'''
-There are many publications that list immigrants from different countries, such as Czechoslovakia, Germany, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Russia, Scotland, and Sweden. Many of these publications are indexed in:
