SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS
SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS TO MARYLANDIn 1660 English immigrants began settling the Eastern Shore (east of Chesapeake Bay) in Maryland. Almost all English immigrants came as indentured servants or convicts. By 1740, other immigrants were also settling western Maryland. Many were Germans who came via Philadelphia Pennsylvania but there were also Scottish, Dutch, Swedish, Huguenot and Acadians coming to the colony. Many blacks arrived as slave labour early in the 1600s.An index of over 2,500,000 names found in more than 2,500 published sources is: Filby, P. William. Passenger and Immigration Lists Index.

The major port of entry into Maryland was Baltimore. Most Baltimore passenger lists are on microfilm at the National Archives, the Maryland Historical Society, the Baltimore City Archives, and the Family History Library. Some immigrants arrived at Annapolis, Havre de Grace, Nottingham, and St. Mary's, but there are few existing records of these ports. Customs Passenger Lists for Baltimore begin in 1820 but many are lost and/or missing. Some surviving lists from 1840- 1891 are in the Family History Centre Catalogue as FHL films 417383-432. Some missing passenger lists may be found by searching for Baltimore lists 1833-1866 which were copies of the original lists submitted by the ship master. Cargo manifests from 1820 to 1821 may also serve as passenger list substitutes. See the list of Microfilm Reel Numbers for Passenger Lists to North America 1820 to 1957
