New Orleans Passenger Lists and Immigration Records: Filling in the Gaps -- New Orleans Passenger Lists Search 1820-1963 -- New Orleans passenger lists for 1820-1902 are available on National Archives (NARA) Microfilm Publication M259 - Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New Orleans, Louisiana, 1820-1902 and these New Orleans passenger lists are indexed online. See: New Orleans Passenger Lists Index 1820-1963. However, the microfilm series and the online index are both missing passenger lists for the first 3 months of 1845 and the first 3 months of 1847. The purpose of this website is to reconstruct those missing lists from these two alternate sources...
January 1845 | February 1845 | March 1845 Complete for all known passengers on ships from foreign ports January 1847 | February 1847 | March 1847 Complete for WPA Transcripts (about 20% of the total passengers) Or search by name using the searchbox below (surname only is best)... you can also search by name of ship If your ancestor arrived at New Orleans at another time see...
