TEXAS SEAPORT
MUSEUM has compiled the nation’s only
computerized listing of immigrants to Galveston, Texas. The museum’s
immigration exhibit features text and historic photographs
illustrating Galveston’s role in immigration history and the major
organized immigration movements of the 19th and 20th
Centuries. Computer terminals in the exhibit area allow visitors to
search for information taken from ships’
passenger manifests pertaining to their ancestors’ arrival in
Texas. For your convenience, the database is also available
online.
Please Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.0 or above is
required to utilize the database.
Although Ellis Island does not house
original records, you may be able to trace your immigrant ancestors
elsewhere, through passenger lists, naturalizations, and census
records. Each search is unique. Yours may be easy and result in
quick success, or it may be a challenge requiring time and
persistence. The National Archives has passenger arrival
records for the port of New York dating from 1820 to 1957.
