What is your opinion of the lists of passengers arriving in the U.S.. They are in alphabetical order according to the year at the History Centers? How accurate are they? Or is it better to check the individual ships with their lists of the passengers that arrived on the ships? I hope you can follow me on this.

It is always better to view the actual (even microfilmed) records yourself. I'm not sure what you meant "They are in alphabetical order according to the year at the History Centers?" Viewing the appropriate Passenger Arrival Record on microfilm, whether at a branch of NARA (National Archives Records Administration) or a rented film from LDS at a Family History Center can bring results you didn't get using ancestry.com or Ellis Island database.
