I believe these cards were indexed during the depression years by the WPA workers for the National Archives. The card gives the name, age, (only given as 18) occupation, nationality, destination, port, vessel, and yr. of arrival. At the bottom right corner is the number (in my case) AB2747(?). Hi I suggest a visit to the following site. http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/immigrant/rg36.html#nyk Pick out the roll you used from their list. (convert it from Family History Catalog number to NARA number) Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New York, NY, 1820--1846. M261. 103 rolls. 16mm. DP. Then go to the following web site http://www.nara.gov/regional/public/nycpubli.html#genealogy They have a Email address where you can inquire about the cost to have them make the photo copies for you. I'm always stunned by how accessible these people and facilities are. I'd just cut and paste what you typed above. Then ask how much and is a special form required. :-) The last time I wanted files on ancestors at our San Bruno NARA, I just Emailed them the day before and the files were waiting. They want 24 hour notice so someone will be there to pull the information. Some records are bound into books, some are in file folders. Some are done in amazing old script and some are done on pathetic old typewriters. We're just ever so grateful they keep them all. Hope that helps, Penny Husler
