SHIPS LISTS FROM THE "NEW YORK TIMES" 1851

This project will transcribe names of passengers found in announcements and articles in the New York Times. There will be brief summaries (as shown below) of each ship arriving or leaving New York. If names of passengers were found, there will be a clickable link to take you directly to that list of names. This is an ongoing project, check back often to see what has been added.

With thanks to Transcriber Diane McClay

Scroll down to read the available dates online on Olive Tree Genealogy. If we haven't yet transcribed the date you need, you can search the New York Times online on another site.

Brick Wall Ancestors? If the date of arrival is known, you can read the arrival report in a New York newspaper. The New York Times is available at many libraries (publication began in September, 1851). You can also search the NY Times online from 1857-1906.
