That I thought I would send my answer to the list's The question was Are there any passenger lists for boats that ran from New Orleans to St.Louis, Mo.? I contacted the "Historic New Orleans Collection " in new Oleans , and they sent me this letter saying: ------------------ We have received your query concerning passenger lists for vessels working inland waterways. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any Archive possessing records of this nature. I strongly suspect that the records never had to be reported to any centralized authority.Records for small companies most likely remained the property of those companies and either remained in private hands or got thrown away after the company's demise. While your question is a good one, I do not know of any way for a researcher to track an ancestor in transit on inland waters. Whether it is records of the Kentucky and Ohio flatboatmen who headed to New Orleans in the 1820's - 30's or immigrants working their way from New Orleans to the nations heartland, the passenger manifests documenting these people's inland travels are not, to the best of my knowledge , housed in any local or regional archive. It is most likely that they no longer exist. Reference Assistant Williams Research Center The Historic New Orleans Collection So looks like there are no records of these people.
