Recent Passenger Manifests/Immigration

Post by Anizio »

Is there any way to get access to immigration records or passenger manifests for someone who went to the US in the 1970s?
TIP: When asking for records from Italy, do NOT ask for an "estratto." ALWAYS ask for a "copia integrale." A photocopy of the original Act will contain more information

NARA has records available through 1982... however, they are not all available online.

From their site:
Where can I find Immigration Records?

We have immigration records for arrivals to the United States from foreign ports between approximately 1820 and 1982. The records are arranged by Port of Arrival.

We do not have passenger lists available online, however we do have a list of the microfilm available for each port.

Microfilm copies of passenger lists up to 1955 are available at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. Some of the microfilm is also available at NARA's regional facilities, but you should call them first to check on their passenger list holdings.

You can also search the Microfilm Catalog to see which locations have the microfilm you are seeking. Type in Passenger as the keyword.
