Most were English and Welsh. Smaller numbers of German, Irish, Scotch-Irish, Dutch, French, Spanish, African, and other nationalities also arrived. These immigrants tended to settle in the eastern, middle-Atlantic, and southern states. Before January 1, 1820, the U.S. Federal Government did not require captains or masters of vessels to present a passenger list to U.S. officials. The lists that remain for the period before 1820 are varied in content. They range from name only lists to giving the person's full name, age, and country of origin. 1820-1880 Over 10 million immigrants came from northern Europe, the British Isles, and Scandinavia between 1820 and 1880. There was a large increase in the number of immigrants from Germany and Ireland beginning in the 1840s and 1850s. Some settled in large eastern and midwestern cities, but most migrated to the midwest and west. 1880-1920 More than 25 million immigrants, mainly from southern and eastern Europe came to USA. Many came from Germany, Italy, Ireland, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and England. Many settled in the larger cities, including New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia. From 1820 to 1902 Custom Passengers Lists were kept the Customs Department. In 1883 the Immigration and Naturalization Service started keeping the records, and these are referred to as Immigration Passenger Lists To find your Scottish ancestors on ships passenger lists from Scotland to USA & Canada you can search Passenger Lists Indexes to Ships Passenger Lists on Microfilm after 1820 CD ROMS CD-ROM Best Buys Books Online Databases Articles & Research Tips Newspapers (for ship arrivals) Naturalization Records Census Records Online Free Ships Passenger Lists Ship Henry & Francis From Scotland 1685 Snow Amity Glasgow Scotland to Boston Massachusetts 1716 Ship Diligence Glasgow Scotland to Boston Massachusetts Nov. 15 1763 Snow Douglas Greenock Scotland to Boston Massachusetts July 1764 Ship Stirling Castle from Greenock Scotland to Boston Massachusetts Apr. 16, 1766 Snow Jenny from Glasgow Scotland to Boston Massachusetts Oct. 31, 1766 The Gale from Scotland to New York, May 16 1774 LE DE SPENCER from Falmouth Scotland to Carolina, Feb. 1774 The ULYSSES from Greenock Scotland to Wilmington, North Carolina, August 1774 The Commerce passengers from Broad Albion, Perthshire, Scotland from Port Greenock Scotland to New York July 9, 1775 The AJAX from Greenock Scotland to North Carolina, June 1775 The ULYSSES from Greenock Scotland to North Carolina, April-May 1775 The JACKIE OF GLASGOW from Stanraer Scotland to North Carolina, May 1775 The JAMAICA PaCKET from Kirkaldy Scotland to Carolina, June 1775 Andromache 7 February 1820 Leith Scotland to New York Hudson, 1850 Dec. 23 Glasgow Scotland arriving New York Mary Morris 1851 Sept. 23 Glasgow Scotland arriving New York Sarah 1851 Sep 24 Glasgow Scotland arriving New York Carlisle Emigration to Canada 1863 Tarifa Glasgow Scotland to Boston Massachusetts 1869 Assyria 1871 May 20 from Scotland to New York Circassia 1883 Scotland to New York (many passengers going on to Canada) Search for passengers Use Olive Tree Custom Search Engines to search multiple sites (choose search engines by state of arrival) Ellis Island Ships Passenger Lists Search passenger records to New York from 1892 to 1924 Census Records AllCensusRecords.com Search Census Records all years in USA & Canada.
