Borge	Hi colleen Beginning January 1st 1820, the U.S. Government required passenger lists for all ships to be filed by the ship master with the collector of Customs in the port of entry. Many of these lists have survived and are available at the US National Archives and Records Administration NARA: http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/immigrant/immpass.html You also have the British Board of Trade outbound passenger lists. Dating from 1890 to 1960 these were compiled for the Statistical Department of the Board of Trade. With no other immigration or emigration records required to be compiled at this period, these represent the only way of identifying travelers passing through British ports en route for the United States, Canada and elsewhere. Deposited some years ago at the Public Record Office in Kew, England You will find more information about how to get different kinds of passenger lists by reading our article "Hunting Passenger Lists": http://www.NorwayHeritage.com/ships/em-prot.htm Børge Solem Edited by - borge
