LONDON (Reuters) - People looking to track ancestors who emigrated from British ports will from Wednesday 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 all long-distance trips made by 30 million travelers from the country's ports between 1890 and 1960, including that of the Titanic which sank in 1912.

We have a pretty good history of things from word of mouth and stories my Mom has written downn. But my wife got into it a bit more and found some new things. The boat my grandmother came over sank in the Great Lakes a few years after she made it over - I believe there was a huge loss of life. Would have been the 1890’s or so. From the web we now have a photo of the ship even - pretty cool stuff! (Plus copies of the immigration books, manifests, etc.)

Do you have a link to the actual article? The link you posted goes to the Yahoo News page with all different stories. I tried searching the page using “Historic passenger lists of ships go online” and nothing comes up. Thanks.

One of mine that I know of did too...George Soule, and he signed the Mayflower Compact. According to info I found on Ancestry.com, his wife Mary Buckett (Becket) arrived in the Plymouth Colony in 1623 aboard the “Anne”, the third ship to bring groups of Pilgrim families to Plymouth...or possibly the “Fortune.”
