Hiya, new to this family tree search thing, how do I find immigration records and ships logs that they came in on. Would be around the last half of the 1800? |

Highly unlikely there are any . they would just have booked tickets and came over as foot passengers. My grt Grandparents came from Germany between 1880 & 1889 but i not been able to find any records .I looked at Kew for them and was told nothing held. You may like to search to see if they took naturalization Shirley |

In fact Kew do hold records, but only for a brief period around the 1850's when captains of ships were requred to give the names of any foreign nationals arriving in British ports. I have examined them myself. They are in boxes of about 1,000 sheets with the entries hand-written, so of course many are illegible. Each box represents three months and are arranged by date, so if you're looking for a name without a date you have a lengthy job. |
