The articles in this collection deal mainly with ports in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland and list some 5,000 17th- and 18th-century arrivals. While about half of the articles deal with English and German immigrants, others are concerned with immigrants of Dutch origin, and some few deal with Huguenots and Jews. As is customary with ships' passenger lists, the data provided consists of a mixture of references to ships, ports and dates of embarkation and arrival, wives, children, age, religion, occupation, and places of origin and residence. The documentation is spare and copious by turns.

History

<p>Millions of people made their way to America in the most determined and sustained migration the world has ever known. Initially they left traces of their immigration in scattered records and documents. Later their arrival here was documented so minutely that the records resulting are among the largest, the most continuous and the most uniform in the nation's archives. These passenger arrival records identify by name, place of origin, and other particulars the vast majority of persons who participated in the great Atlantic migration. This work examines the records in their historical and legal framework, and it explains what they contain, where they can be found, and how they can be used. In effect, it is a road map through the mass of records and archival resources documenting immigrant arrivals from the time of the earliest settlements to the passage of the Quota Acts three centuries later. This new edition features expanded coverage of colonial emigration records, finding aids and reference materials, National Archives microfilm programs and publications, current projects and new developments in immigration research, and more.</p>
