The Fifteen-Year Direct 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 '''''indirect indexes''''' begin in 1854 and end in 1910. | Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have handwritten regular indexes.
