    3. Someone privately asked me about passenger lists on line. This was my response. Perhaps others here have additional information they would like to share with the mailing list. Elaine ****************** Some lists are available at individual websites, a large one is http://immigrantships.net/ and http://olivetreegenealogy.com/index.shtml also contains lists. I believe they are transcriptions of passenger lists and are not images of the actual lists. Then individual researchers have sometimes uploaded lists to their own family websites. It requires searching. Ancestry now has a closed subscriber database (subscription fee) for passenger lists. I have never used it so don't know what it is like. I did do the free search and supposedly I might have some hits in that database, but without paying for a subscription I can't access them. NARA generally is your best bet. It contains reels of filmed passenger manifests. Family History Center (LDS) facilities also have rental systems so you can rent such films from them. There usually is a convenient FHC to almost every researcher since there usually is one attached to the main Mormon Church in the locality. Elaine
