From: "Susan Abramson" <suenstu@hotmail.com> This is one of the question that Susan has asked Is there a place where you can find records for ships from Philadelphia to Ireland between 1897 and 1912? Hello I have asked this question several times but nobody has answered my question. Several people have asked if I find the answer let them know. Here is their answer.

John Ships' passenger lists from 1890-1960 are held in the National Archives, and as we mentioned in our newsletter they are being digitized by Findmypast.com (entries from 1890-99 have already been indexed, so you should find your ancestors there). Records prior to 1890 no longer exist, apart from some dating from 1878. Shipping lines may have copies of the lists in their archives. The existing digitization project is for outward bound passenger lists only - we don't know whether there are plans to digitize the lists of inward bound passengers. Until the records are digitized they can only be searched in person at the National Archives, and even then only if you know the name of the ship and the date of the voyage - there is no name index.
