Searching Microfilm Records
Once you know your ancestor's state of entry, you can search
microfilms. Most states are indexed, so this will make your
job slightly easier. You can order films in to a nearby
Family History Centre, or have NARA do the job (once you
have precise details)
The staff of the National Archives will undertake a search
of the original records for a fee but you must know the name
of the ship, the date of arrival, and the port of arrival.
To obtain a search request form, write to:
General Reference
Branch (NNRG), National Archives and Records Administration,
7th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20408 and
request NATF Form 81, Order for Copies of Ship Passenger
Arrival Records
The cost of a search using NATF Form 81 as of November 2000 is $17.25
