Hello, The National Archives microfilm roll (M259-24) for New Orleans passenger arrivals for 1845 is missing the first 3 months of the year. I have transcribed the lists from a separate and somewhat obscure WPA transcription (M2009) for these 3 months and put them online here... New Orleans Passenger Lists Jan, Feb, March 1845 http://www.genesearch.com/neworleans/ These records are free to search. I'm posting this to show that there are often other resources available for immigration records besides the standard NARA microfilms and indexes. If you come across something that seems to be missing, keep digging. You may find an alternate path to the same place or nearly the same place, anyway :) Good luck with your searches.
