Searching Microfilm Records
Once you know your ancestor's state of entry, you can search
microfilms. Most states are indexed, so this will make your
job slightly easier. You can order films in to a nearby
Family History Centre, or have NARA do the job (once you
have precise details)
The staff of the National Archives will undertake a search
of the original records for a fee but you must know the name
of the ship, the date of arrival, and the port of arrival.
To obtain a search request form, write to:
General Reference
Branch (NNRG), National Archives and Records Administration,
