www.genealogybank.com/free
This is an exact digital copy of the original document that was published by
the Federal Government in 1821*. It covers the arrivals in 35 ports in 14
states and the District of Columbia.
*GenealogyBank *is pleased to provide this free and valuable research tool
to genealogists. It is an excellent example of the types of genealogical
records preserved at *GenealogyBank * that you can use to fill in the
details of your family tree. A typical entry gives the passenger's name,
age, where they were coming from, and their destination, the name of the
ship, ship's captain and the port. Some entries also include additional
notes.
This published passenger list gives the names of all passengers arriving in
the US between October 1819 and September 1820. It includes not only
immigrants coming to the U.S. but also a large number of U.S. citizens who
were traveling by ship from one part of the country to another.
For example Alfred Spooner, age 32, a farmer from Vermont and D. McCall, age
33, a merchant from North Carolina were both listed as traveling on the *Brig
Forest* that was going to Mississippi.
Entries also tell of births and deaths at sea. Eugenia Virginia Stark and
Charles Julius Wittell were two German children born at sea. Christiana
Yauch was not so lucky. She is recorded as having died at sea while coming
to America from Germany.
Robert Crookshanks age 60, a merchant from St. John, New Brunswick is listed
as "on a visit" to Portland, Maine coming over on the Schooner Recover.
Francis Mitchell, age 28, a West Indies planter from St. Croix is listed as
going to Ireland on the Schooner Edward and stopping at the port of New
York.
