This webinar will provide a brief history of passenger arrival records collected at Ellis Island and the port of New York. and MyHeritage has updated and expanded this index to improve findability in these important immigration records. Until now, no organization has indexed the millions of additional names and relationships listed in the New York passenger arrival records which provide information about the arriving immigrant’s nearest friend or relative in his home country as well as information about a friend or relative in the USA. These additional names and relationships are now available in a searchable index for the first  time and can help genealogists find elusive passenger arrival records and solve difficult genealogical problems.
