    1. Ship passenger lists

    3. Does anyone have experience of interpreting ship passenger lists? My husband is puzzling over a list obtained from TNA which has dates added/stamped on several years after the original making of the list. He would dearly like to know what the additions mean. The list is that of ship Haverford, Liverpool to Philadelphia in Aug 1820, of 'Alien Passengers for the US Immigration Officer at Port of Arrival'. Eight of twenty-six entries have added dates e.g. NELSON, Mar 1 1930, Oct 14 1943, Nov 15 1943 COURVILLE May 28 1927, July 30 1931 Could they be references to later journies, or linked to Naturalisation applications? I have received great help from this list before and hope to again! Patricia
