If your ancestors arrived before 1800, you may have difficulty finding a passenger manifest. Some ports began indexing passenger manifests in 1800; New York began in 1820. Lists prior to that time are frequently compilations of other documents. Visit Genealogical Publishing Company for the largest collection of resource material, especially if your ancestors arrived early.

Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  For most of the passengers, the recorder lists their full given name, but for 
  others he employs an abbreviated version of their given name, such as "Chas" for
  Charles, "Thos" or "Tho^s" for Thomas, "Hy" for Henry, "My" for Mary, "Jno" for 
  John, "Geo" for George, "Brgt" for Bridget, "Margt" for Margaret, Dan^l for Daniel,
  and "Jas" for James.

  The Occupation of every adult male is listed as "Lab" for Laborer. While no doubt 
  many passengers were Laborers, it challenges the imagination to believe that not one 
  of the 245 passengers is a "Farmer", "Clerk", "Miner" or other occupation common to 
  immigrants. Therefore, the recorded passenger Occupations should be viewed with some
  skepticism.
