Historic passenger lists are available
From Times Wire Reports
January 10, 2007
Starting today, people looking to track ancestors who emigrated from British
ports will be able to search online passenger lists of the ships that
carried them to new lands.
Released by Britain's National Archives, the passenger manifests give an
insight into long-distance trips made by 30 million travelers between 1890
and 1960. Only the first decade will be available to start.

Important to note that before you buy units.
Quote "Data is available now for 1890-1899. Passenger lists from the UK for
1890-1960 will be complete by early 2008"

Searching is free. No need to buy units until one finds a
"possibility".

The records are available at findmypast.com, a website licensed by the
