Hi Joy, Saw your query. I am looking at a National Archives Publication, "Immigrant and Passenger Arrivals." On page 13, Record Group M237, it lists rolls of film of passenger lists arriving in New York during the period 1820-1897. The publication is available from any regional Federal Archive. Mine cost about $3.00 four or five years ago, so it may be higher now, but not much. Hope this helps you.
