Wisconsin Passenger ListsThis information is now located at my business site: Genealoger.com. You will be redirected shortly. Thank you for your interest in my site. Duane Bogenschneider Passenger lists are not available for Milwaukee (the main port), or any of the other Wisconsin ports. Most immigrants from overseas landed at east-coast ports, primarily New York City, before heading toward Wisconsin. If “Milwaukee” is noted as the port of entry, it is likely that the immigrant actually arrived at the port of Quebec, Canada, and then came through the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes to enter the United States at Wisconsin. This was an important route particularly for the Norwegian immigrants. The “St. Albans Passenger Arrival Records,” is a collection of millions of cards that provide information about people who crossed the border between Canada and the United states. It includes passengers arriving by train through substations or ports along the borders from Washington to Maine. Each card typically provides name, age, exact place of birth, last residence, occupation, name and address of relative in former country, name and address of relative in the destination city, whether the person’s first visit to the U.S., date and vessel of seaport arrival, date and place of border crossing, and physical description. The St. Albans indexes include the entire United States-Canada border from 1895 to 1915. The 1915-to-1924 indexes cover the border east of Buffalo, New York, only. The Family History Library and the National Archives have passenger lists or indexes for American ports for the years 1800–1921 for Philadelphia, 1820–1943 for Boston and New York, and 1865–1900 for Canadian ports. Indexes are being published for many ethnic groups, such as the Czechs (1846–), Italians (1880–), Germans (1850–), Greeks (1885–), and Russians (1875–).
