  The National Archives has several incomplete series of customs passenger lists and immigrant passenger lists of ships arriving from abroad at many Atlantic, Pacific, and gulf coast ports. There are also arrival records for immigration via Canada. Customs passenger lists began in 1820 and extend to the late 19th. century (1890s)for most ports. The immigration passenger lists begin at that time, usually when the customs lists leave off.
