Be sure to allow a year or two on either side, as they are the most MISremembered years of all. For the passenger record you can search microfilms. Most states are indexed, so this will make your job slightly easier. You can order films in to a nearby Family History Centre, or have NARA do the job (once you have precise details) Once you know your state, you can get a list of film numbers (NARA & FHC) at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/nara_indexbyport.shtml Scroll down to the state you want and click on the link, then find the film # you need you can also try Steve MOrse's one step search engines at http://www.stevemorse.org/ Also try http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_ships.shtml This site has several search engines, one for each state where ships arrived. As for naturalization records, you can try the online databases at http://naturalizationrecords.com/ Also be sure to see the links to other online databases at this site.
