Looking for anyone who might have access to the passengers list for the Brooksby which sailed from Glasgow and arrived New York on Aug 10, 1849. Hope to find documentation of Archibald (b.1815) and Margaret (b.1816) McKelvie entering the US.

You might want to check my free online project to fill in the 1847-1892 index gap for passenger arrival records in New York. This project consists of 3 sets of records: 1. NY Times extracts for ship arrivals and passenger names 2. Images (and some accompanying transcripts) of actual passenger lists in this time period 3. NY Almshouse records for 1855-1858 (contains year of arrival and ship name) The complete index of NY Times years and shipping news extracts is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/nytimes.htm Images of ships passenger lists for these Unindexed NY years are online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ The Almshouse Records start at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ny_alms1855.htm Also check online ships and links to ships in this time period starting att http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_ny182549.shtml You can get this passenger list on microfilm if you haven't found it online. Both NARA & LDS have films with the New York passenger lists. Ships are on the reels in order of date of arrival, so all you need to do is find the film number that has your arrival date on it. Then order it in to a nearby Family History Centre, or request a lookup from NARA. When you get the film, scroll through to find your date but if your ship isn't there, be sure to check more thoroughly on the film - the lists aren't always exactly in chronological order.
