Donald, The Latter Day Saints have at least one film (#1161275) of the passport registrations from the 1800s. The records are in the order in which the passports were issued. They will give the destination, who the person is traveling with, and a description of the person. The years 1855 to 1865 are missing. At the time I ordered the film I was looking for 1858. :( Hope this helps.
