Looking for a Passenger List between 1874 and 1882?Federal Passenger Lists between 1 April 1874 and 31 December 1882 have not survived. If you found your ancestor on a card index between those dates, you will not find the passenger list on film. However, Massachusetts recorded the names of immigrants arriving in the Port of Boston between 1848 and 1891. The Massachusetts State Archives holds those lists. Records are available as a name index. Information includes name, age, sex, country of birth, last residence, and occupation of the immigrant. The name of the ship and the date of arrival are also listed. Children may be listed separately or with other family members.
