Emigration from the United Kingdom to America : lists of passengers arriving at U.S. ports
(Reference Book)

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

This new series, Emigration from the United Kingdom to America, which covers the years between 1870 and 1897, will give both the historian and genealogist a database of English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish immigrants who arrived at the Port of New York in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The passenger lists reproduced in this volume are arranged in chronological order by date of arrival with records of passengers from Great Britain and Ireland who disembarked at New York published in their entirety. The database was created from the original U.S. ship manifest collection in the National Archives. Ship manifests were filed by all vessels that entered a U.S. port in accordance with a Congressional Act of 1819. Information includes the first and last name of each passenger, age, gender, occupation, nationality, residence, and putative destination along with the name of the ship, the port of embarkation, and the date of arrival in the U.S. port.
