Migration records

Outward passenger lists

Migration records [Passenger Lists] are invaluable in helping you find your ancestors. Board of Trade Passenger Lists, Outwards (BT 27), 1890-1960, contain the names of people leaving ports in the United Kingdom and Ireland for final destinations outside Europe and the Mediterranean.

You can carry out a person search using the first and last name. You can also refine your search by departure port, destination country, destination port and ship's name.

Search the AncestorsOnBoard website free of charge by name.

Download images and information from a passenger list for a small fee.

You can access the ancestorsonboard website free on site at The National Archives in Kew courtesy of findmypast.com. Please note that standard onsite charges for printing paper copies will still apply.
