Boston, Massachusetts Passenger Lists
|
|
Ships arriving in Boston Massachusetts are available both on microfilm and online.
Boston Massachusetts ship arrivals have an an 8 1/2
year gap from April
1874 to 31 Dec 1882 on microfilm M277 Passenger Lists of Vessels
Arriving at Boston Massachusetts 1820-1891.
There are no Federal records of any kind prior to 1883 (fire destoyed them) so State Department copies were
used in their place. State Departments copies and
abstracts only cover up to end of March 1874.
The good news is that there are records for the
missing years. They are not available at NARA, only at the
Massachusetts State Archives
Tthere is an index on microfilm M625 which covers those missing years. Finding an ancestor on that
index in those missing years means you have to then write to
the Massachusetts State Archives for a copy of the passenger list
page with your ancestor on it. |
