• Confirm their date of arrival
• Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
• Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship’s manifests.
• Find federal immigration records
• Download a copy of the record or transcribe the details.
• If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for a name before you decide which is correct.
• Continue to search the lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have immigrated at the same time.
• If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor’s surname. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
