Manifests – Immigrant Ship Passengers

Ship manifests of our ancestors

image

The original ship manifests were large with each part being approximately 2 feet wide.  I have saved most of the ship manifests in 2 parts for easier viewing.  Note that even these manifest image parts are very large files that may take a minute or more to display.  When displayed, you can scroll to find the line number which is located at the left side.  The top of the manifest page has an explanation for each column.  Some manifest data were type written and are easy to read, others were hand written and may be very hard to read.PART 1 manifest data includes: Name, occupation, last permanent residence, nearest relative in Europe, final destination State & City.PART 2 manifest data includes:  Destination address and name of relative to join in America, height, hair & eye color, place of birth.Immigrants who arrived via Canadian ports (e.g. Quebec, Halifax, St. Johns) had the information from the ship manifest data copied to index cards when they entered the United States and. These cards contain most of the information contained on the actual ship manifest. Where noted, both card and manifest are available to view. They are often referred to as the St. Albans list as this was the location where all data was compiled.The card data fields include: Family name, Given name, Accompanied by names, Place of birth, age, sex, occupation, read/write, Race, Nationality, Last permanent residence, Name & address of relative in Europe, passage paid by, Destination and name of relative to join in America, height, complexion, hair, eyes, distinguishing marks. The back of the card has an annotation of where (e.g. Port Huron or Detroit), and when the person was admitted to the United States (usually the day after arriving in port).

NOTE:   “The age of the emigrant. For the early years in particular, this is not necessarily very accurate for children, as the fee in some cases depended on the age of the child. There were different rates for adults, children 1 – 14 and for infants under 1. It is amazingly few entries of children at the age of 14, while there are a lot of children at the age of 13 in the early years of the records.”
