    Passenger lists constitute the official record of immigration in this period. They contain information such as name, age, country of origin, occupation and intended destination of passengers.
    The records are arranged by port and date of arrival, with the exception of the years 1923 to 1924, and some of those for 1919 to 1922, when an individual Form 30A was used.
