Listes des passagers et de l’équipage arrivant, Pennsylvanie, États-Unis, 1798 à 1962

Cette base de données est un index de listes de passagers à bords de navires en provenance de l’étranger qui sont arrivés au port de Philadelphie aux États-Unis entre 1798 et 1962. Les noms trouvés dans l’index sont reliés à des images actuelles des listes de passagers tirées des microfilms de la National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Les informations contenues dans l’index comprennent le prénom, le nom de famille, l’âge, le sexe, l’ethnicité, la nationalité ou le dernier pays de résidence, la date d’arrivée, le port d’arrivée, le port de départ, le nom du navire et le numéro de la page et de la bobine du microfilm.

This database is an index to the passenger lists of ships arriving from foreign ports at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1800-1962. The names found in the index are linked to actual images of the passenger lists, digitized from National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) microfilm

Information contained in the index includes:

Name

Gender

Ethnicity, nationality or last country of permanent residence

Destination

Arrival date

Port of arrival

Port of departure

Ship name

Microfilm roll and page number

Other listed information may include the name of a friend or relative whom the individual was going to join or a place of nativity. Many of these items may be used to search the index in the search template above.

Many passenger list forms, especially those from the twentieth century, were two pages long. Be sure to click the "Previous" and "Next" buttons in order to see all the images pertaining to a particular manifest.

It is important to note that the port of departure listed on these passenger lists is not always the original port of departure for these individuals. A ship could make several voyages throughout the year, making several stops along way. Oft times the port of departure found on these lists is the most recent port the ship was located at prior to arriving at the port of Philadelphia. Therefore, if your ancestors immigrated to the United States from Germany, they could be found on a passenger list coming from Liverpool, England (if, in this case, the ship left from Bremen, Germany, then continued on to Liverpool, England, before arriving in Philadelphia).

The microcopies of the passenger lists found at NARA are arranged chronologically by arrival date of vessel. If you do not wish to search this database using the search template, the images may be browsed following the chronological arrangement. To browse the images first select the "Year" in which you would like to search, followed by the "Month," and finally the "Ship Name.
