There is a book that list the names of arrivals called Polish
Arrivals at the Port of Baltimore 1880-1884 by Jeanne Davis White.
Other years may also be listed in another book.

Filby's Passenger & Immigration list is available at the library. It
helps to know roughly the year of arrival.

Also Germans to America 1875-1880. I think there are other years
too. This is also available at the library.

I found 99% of my family did not come through Ellis Island. They
came through Baltimore or Phili.
