MyFamily.com Announces Immigrant Collection

MyFamily.com announced on November 10th the US Immigration Collection, which will be available as a subscription through Ancestry.com. Their press release says it includes "passenger lists for all of America's major Atlantic ports including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Francisco," which is over ten million people, but only two components of the collection are described in any detail in the press release. They are:

* The New York Passenger Lists, 1851 -1892 -- A resource covering over 11 million immigrants (the press release says "ultimately" -- apparently more names are being added weekly). Lists are indexed and searchable by name.

* Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s. In addition to naturalization records, this index will include church records, voter registration, land records, and census records.

Access to the collection will be $19.95 a month, $39.95 a quarter, or $79.95 a year.
