About Passenger Ship Lists
For most genealogists especially those new to family history one of the greatest
thrills is discovering where and when their ancestor entered their adopted
country. Depending on the year and
the port of entry it may not always be an easy task to find your family member.
For those immigrants who arrived in the United States prior to1893,
steamship passenger lists had minimal amounts of information making it difficult
to verify personal identification.
Sometimes handwriting and the condition of the image of the manifest (as in the
case of my grandfather Christopher Sullivan in the picture to the left) may also
play a part in accurately deciphering the facts.
But what happens when you have no clue where or when an ancestor entered the country and what sources are at your disposal that can help can you enhance an individual in you family tree. Declarations of Intent and Petitions for citizenship are often good ways to determine port of entry into the country. With the Immigration Act of 1906, new requirements enforced by the Department of Labor were enacted requiring proof of legal entry into the United States. The Certificate of Arrival is attached to every Declaration and Petition beginning in 1911 the source of which is the original ship's manifest. Below is a sample image that was attached to John Duffy's application for citizenship in 1932. Other useful information can be derived from the US Census Returns, such as approximate entry into the country and granting of citizenship. Keep in mind though, it has been my experience that census information, while enormously helpful, may be inaccurate. In many cases the census taker received personal information from secondhand sources and therefore data between decades can vary wildly.
