Can't Find Your Ancestor In The Indexes?
Step 3: Obtain The Desired Passenger List.
Step 4: Search The Passenger List.
STEP 3: OBTAIN THE DESIRED PASSENGER LIST. Once you have found your ancestor in an index, you will want to get the actual passenger list on which that person appears. Film numbers for the passengers lists appear after the regular indexes in the Family History Library Catalog.
In the passenger list, turn to the page number you found in the index. On some passenger lists a numbered page is followed by one or more unnumbered pages. If your ancestor's name does not appear on the numbered page, search the unnumbered page(s) immediately following it.
Figure 4 shows an example of a passenger list. Format and titles may vary by shipping line and year.
