Just wanted to let everyone know that Ancestry.com has
added the Canadian Border Crossing Records containing more
than 4 million names of individuals who crossed the U.S.-
Canadian border between 1895 and 1956.
Many immigrants came to US via Canada as fares were
generally much cheaper that way.
In 1895 Canada and USA established a joint inspection

Canadian Port of Arrival, then enumera
Thanks to those who replied. One great resource that was suggested was www.stevemorse.org which lead me to CastleGarden.org

Now I'd like to find the manifest. Maybe Ancestry.com will have it, now that I know the ship name.
Regards,
Rich

Hi,

I'm looking for a passeger list that I don't find on the ISTG website. I don't know the name of the ship, but I found a Naturalization index that indicates a ancestor arrived in NYC on Oct 3, 1880. The index also indicates the ship departed from Bremen on Sept 20, 1880. That seems like a quick voyage, but I really don't know how long these voyages take.
