'''''No | '''''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. | ||

The Fifteen-year Index arranges all the names on the direct lists from 1856 to 1871 in one alphabetical index. Though it is convenient to use, this index is not complete. After checking the index, you may still need to use the Klüber indexes or the regular indexes for the same time period. The regular indexes are more complete, but they are more difficult to use. | The Fifteen-year Index arranges all the names on the direct lists from 1856 to 1871 in one alphabetical index.

Although the two files overlap in time periods, both are necessary since neither file is complete. These indexes are considered more complete than the Fifteen-year Index when indexes 1 and 2 are used together. | Although the two files overlap in time periods, both are necessary since neither file is complete.

Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have handwritten 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. | Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have handwritten indexes.
