I Would Like To Order A Copy Of My Ancestors' Passenger List



A Passenger List Is A Real Keepsake


A copy of the passenger list for the ship on which your ancestor(s) arrived is a treasure. You may have a few questions concerning the time and costs involved. We hope to have answered them all here.

How Much Time Does It Take?

If you have the name of the ship, the date and port of arrival
it can be done in about 10-14 days - if the ship arrived before
1897.  Between all the members of our research team,
we have good access to ships arriving the US (in main ports of entry).

If the ship arrived at a main port of entry after 1897, the
film on which the passenger list can be found may need to be
ordered.

If the film needs to be ordered, it normally takes about 2 weeks
for it to arrive from Washington.  In some instances, it has
taken longer.

Once the film arrives, it takes about 7-10 days for us to copy
the passenger list and mail it to you.

How Much Does It Cost?


We have pledged to keep our data online and freely available but
we cannot do research for free.

We know the cost of research can be very expensive, and we strive
to keep your costs as low as we possibly can.

Your cost for a copy of the list is $10.00 which is payable in
advance.  The cost of .30 per copied page and shipping/handling
will be invoiced to you when the list is mailed.
