=== Passenger Arrival Records  ===
Many Latter-day Saint immigrants leaving Europe and Great Britain came on chartered ships from Liverpool, England. Between 1840 and 1854, New Orleans was the major port of arrival for Latter-day Saint immigrant ships. Between 1855 and 1890, most of the ships arrived in New York, Philadelphia, or Boston. Suggestions for help in locating your immigrant ancestor can be found under [[Latter-day Saint Emigration and Immigration|Latter-day Saint Emigration and Immigration]].
There was no port of entry common to the non-Church members overseas immigrants. The Family History Library and the National Archives have passenger lists for east coast and some west coast ports between 1820 and about 1920. See [[United States Genealogy|United States]] and [[Tracing Immigrant Origins]] for these passenger lists.
