New York Passenger Lists - Introduction The links listed below will take you to webpages with information about how you can search for New York passenger arrival records (sometimes called immigration records), online and off. The New York indexes are listed first, followed by New York passenger lists on microfilm. The microfilmed records are available from the National Archives (to 1957) or the LDS Family History Library (to 1942). These New York passenger lists include the Castle Garden, Barge Office and Ellis Island periods. Online New York Passenger Lists Indexes...

You may be able to obtain the A-File (Alien File) of the person you are looking for from the USCIS (formerly the INS). This file might provide you with ship arrival information for that person. (See: Guide to Genealogical Research in the National Archives of the United States, 3rd Edition. Washington, DC: NARA, 2000. Pages 81-82.)
