A Small Collection of Online Genealogy Records
Over the last few years my various websites have accumulated a messy pile of transcribed genealogy records :) Most of these are ship passenger lists, but there are one or two other records as well. Many of the names are German and Irish, but other nationalities are also included. Even though these transcriptions are scattered around the web in a seemingly haphazard way -- there really is a method behind all of it I think, or I thought there was at the time :) -- you can search all of them from one place. Right here:
Search Some Cool, Obscure, Weird Genealogy Records and Passenger Lists
You can search by name, surname, keyword or name of ship. You can also search by topic - for example typing in naturalization records will return a list of webpages with information about how to find naturalization records. Try typing in census records or death records, that sort of thing.
Here's a list of many of the transcribed records included in the search:
About 150 New Orleans passenger lists - most from the 1840s (2 from the 1850s)
Some Baltimore passenger lists (and lists of ships to Baltimore) - from the 1830s
14 New York passenger lists - from the period 1820-1867
List of Passenger Ships from Ireland to America 1732-1749 (a few have names of passengers)
Antelope and Welcome reconstructed passenger lists (of William Penn's Fleet)
23 Pennsylvania German Pioneers Passenger Lists - from the period 1736-1807
List of Palatines from Germany to England in 1709 (most went on to America)
Passenger Arrivals in the US in the 4th Quarter of 1819
Passengers to Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia in 1823
Assorted Passengers to Savannah, Georgia 1866-1867
Some German Passengers Missed by Germans to America
Arizona World War One Alien Registration Index (partial)
Assorted Putzig, West Prussia Genealogy Records 1660-1890
Assorted Zarnowitz, West Prussia Genealogy Records 1800s
Hegensdorfer Auswanderer 1824-1893 (Emigrants from Hegensdorf, Germany)
None of this is comprehensive or amazing or anything, but a few people have found their ancestors in these records, maybe you will too, or maybe you'll find some useful tips if you search by topic.

Ship Passenger Lists and Indexes You Can Find Online
One of the most popular webpages on my German Roots genealogy website is one called "What Passenger Lists Are Online?" It's a directory of Internet sources for some transcribed or digitized ship passenger lists or name indexes of passengers. These are for ships that brought immigrants and other passengers to the USA and to or from many other countries. There are also links to other finding aids for some ports.
The top half of the webpage is for USA arrivals and includes sub-sections for New York, Alaska, Baltimore, Boston & New England, Florida, New Orleans, Oregon, Pennsylvania, San Francisco & Hawaii, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. About half way down the page you will find an international section with sub-sections for Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Some of the items listed on the webpage are free to use, some are fee-based -- these latter are usually marked "requires payment" or something similar. You can find the passenger lists directory at:
