**NEW!** SEARCH ENGINES FOR SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS TO NORTH AMERICA Finding ancestors has never been easier! Surnames are at your fingertips with my custom-built Search Engines. These Search Engines will search for ships passenger lists to USA & Canada. Search engines have been custom built for the following states: Maryland, Texas, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, New England (includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island & Vermont) and Texas. More Search Engines will be added for other states as time permits. The total number of ships to USA you can search from my new search engines as of today is 4,129. New ships are being added daily so don't despair if you don't find an ancestor the first time. One of the little known online databases for USA ships is found at the NAC (National Archives of Canada) for immigration 1925- 1935. Immigration records, including some border crossings are searchable for the ports of Providence, Rhode Island; Boston, Massachusetts; and New York City, New York. The NAC database for these US cities has a total of 6,293 names and you can now search the database from the Olive Tree Genealogy pages. http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_ships.shtml This same database at the NAC has thousands of Canadian entries for the years 1925-1935. I have now set up a search box for your convenience which will search the Canadian ports of Quebec City; Montreal, Quebec; Halifax Nova Scotia; Saint John, New Brunswick; North Sydney, Nova Scotia; Vancouver, British Columbia; & Victoria, British Columbia. For those seeking ships to Canada, I have one search engine which searches ships to all of Canada. New ships are being added as I find them, and as of today the total number you can search from the convenience of my site is 265. When searching, please remember that spelling wasn't always consistent, and transcribers make mistakes. Also, names can be abbreviated -- Wm. for William, and so on. What this means is that you should always search list by list if you don't find your ancestor using the search boxes.

This is another project in the works so please keep checking back frequently if you don't find what you need the first time.
