How do I go about finding passenger list for Olympic between 1923 and 1924 (I think). Grandparents came to USA from England about that time. I have checked Ellis Island, but Mother said they didn't have to go through Ellis????

Hello Joan

You should read our article about hunting passenger lists to learn more on how to find the passenger list with your grandparents.

http://www.NorwayHeritage.com/ships/em-prot.htm#us

If you can't find them in the Ellis Island database, it does not mean that they did not arrive at New York, as the reason why you did not find them could be that they were listed with an odd variation of their name, as we often see. You should experience a little using different variations.

However, they could have prosesed through another port. Here are some of the routes of the White Star Line (the owners of the Olympic) in 1923:

Liverpool - Belfast/Glasgow - Quebec - Montreal

Liverpool - Boston/Philadelphia

Liverpool - New York
