Most ship records before 1820 contain little information about the passengers. Generally the list of passengers was a partial list and included names of the most important men. Women and children were often not listed. Since the capitans were not required to give their records to anyone, they kept the records themselves, destroyed the records or did not keep any records. Most of the records that survive have been published. Use the ''Passenger and Immigration Lists Index'' to find these records (see below). | Most ship records before 1820 contain little information about the passengers.
