As well you can search this site using their search engines: http://www.searchforancestors.com/records/passenger.html There are several free Passenger list search engines including Ellis Island, RootsWeb and and an exclusive Irish passenger list portal. This site also has Tips for searching the Ellis Island database at http://www.searchforancestors.com/archives/vol11.html My Olive Tree Genealogy 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, North & South Carolina, Rhode Island & Vermont) and Texas. The total number of ships to USA you can search from my new search boxes as of today is 4,190. New ships are being added daily so don't despair if you don't find an ancestor the first time. http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_ships.shtml Scroll down the page (2 - 3 screens down) until you see the yellow search boxes labelled with each state name. You will also see, just above the search boxes in a darker yellow box, a direct link to search all of Rootsweb.com's passenger ship lists. The states which are searchable there include NY, Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Maryland. You can still search manually, ship by ship, on my Olive Tree Genealogy pages by going to http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_index.shtml Ships which you are can search manually are arranged by year, and by state of arrival for your convenience. Ships housed on Olive Tree have my Tree Logo button beside them; links to other ships are clearly indicated with an "Off-Site" button. 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 ports has a total of 6,293 names and you can now search the database from the Olive Tree Genealogy pages!
