This link is a good start: http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/passengers.html Look under New York 1847-1897. Unfortunately, there are no indexes (or not many) for these years. If you can narrow down to the year and/or month of arrival (read the section under Introduction), you can send for microfilm through the Family History Library and search page by page through the ships' passenger lists for that month or year in NY. That's how I found my great-grandfather's arrival. First, I found when he declared his intent to become a citizen in Tioga Co. PA, and in that declaration he showed that he came through the port of New York in June, 1880. Once I had that, I sent for the film/s. It only took 15 minutes of searching before I found his name!
