In the early 1800's port cities in the USA bore the
burden of immigration. By the time they arrived, so many
immigrants were tired, hungry and poor they ended up in the City Almshouse. This meant the citizens had to take care of them. At first the citizens of the city asked the Mayors for funds to support the poor. Eventually they asked the states, and by mid-century some states (PA, NY, MA) set up State agencies to deal with the issue. Eventually, beginning in the 1880's, the Federal Government nationalized the programs. Dating back to the colonial era, New York City assumed responsibility for its citizens who were destitute, sick, homeless, or otherwise unable to care for themselves. The city maintained an almshouse, various hospitals, and a workhouse on Blackwell's Island (now called Roosevelt Island) for the poor. Read more about NYC Almshouse....

There are 2 pages for each name in this ledger from 1855 to 1858. Information includes Individual's name, age, where they are from (Nativity), Name of Ship, Date of sailing, Ports of departure and arrival, Captain's Name, Owner's Name, Date of Bond, Sureties, Date Discharged, Death Date and Remarks. I'm transcribing the records as best I can but the originals
were only in fair shape, and some of the writing is almost
illegible. They are in a very cramped hand, it seems the
clerks had little room to make their entries in these ledger
books, and some of the writing is so tiny that it is
difficult if not impossible to read! This is a work-in-progess, please check back for updates and new years and surnames being added
