Until now, no organization has indexed the millions of additional names and relationships listed in the New York passenger arrival records which provide information about the arriving immigrant’s nearest friend or relative in his home country as well as information about a friend or relative in the USA. These additional names and relationships are now available in a searchable index for the first time and can help genealogists find elusive passenger arrival records and solve difficult genealogical problems. This webinar will provide a brief history of passenger arrival records collected at the Port of New York and focus on using the newly updated and expanded index on MyHeritage to improve findability in these important immigration records.

Great webinar! Love the piecing work for the passenger lists, it was so difficult to use before. Off to MyHeritage. Thanks:)
I already subscribe to MyHeritage as it has led me to my ancestors in Spain. So I am a believer and will continue to subscribe as long as I can. Excited to see the new changes in passenger records. Can’t wait to try…
I not only learned new tricks about the passenger list records, but became aware of other new record sets, like New York Marriages. Thanks My Heritage!
I rated this highly because of the value of the new database and it’s innovative genealogical implications. Thank you so much, My Heritage!
I really appretiated the Immigration run thru at the start of the webinar. the data presented is outstanding. thank you so much.
INCREDIBLE! Loved the graphic and great leads! Thanks so much!
It is great to hear about what’s on My Heritage, rather than trying to explore on my own.
It’s fun to get new information about finding passenger records. Thank you.
I’ve been frustrated by search results in these records on MH because there looked to be so many multiples for the names I want. But NOW I understand what they represent. I’m so glad I heard about this webinar in time to listen live. It will make a difference in my research.
Love that it was NY. I think they’ve got another customer!! Thanks a bunch.
Mike’s voice was so soothing. He was knowledgeable and provided me with many facts that I hadn’t thought about regarding immigration. One of my favorite webinars.
My first webinar. Learned a lot
MyHeritage – Thanks for all the work.
New information–exciting!
Now help me figure out a way to retire, so I can work on genealogy full time! So busy and having fun at work, hard to retire right now. Hoping to do so soon, so will just have to do my genealogy on the weekends. Thanks again!! Terrific. Thanks for speaking clearly and showing us so much.
One of the very best…..you cannot beat the partnership of Legacy and MyHeritage. You are just GREAT!
Outstanding presentation. Thank you!!!
Terrific, not only for passenger lists but for research in general
The webinar was very informative. I have been researching for almost forty years, yet you gave me so many fresh ideas. Can’t wait to check them out.
This new addition to passenger lists is fantastic. Mike explained it well and even included some history of immigration to the US as a plus. Great job!
