Summary:     This microfilm publication, entitled "A Supplemental Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Atlantic and Gulf Coast Ports (excluding New York), 1820-1874," contains an incomplete alphabetical card index to the names on passenger lists of these vessels.  The index, which is in the National Archives, was prepared by the Work Projects Administration between 1935 and 1937 from copies of passenger lists submitted by collectors of customs to the Department of State.  Also indexed in this microcopy are entries in selected volumes of an eight-volume series of transcripts that include names of passengers arriving at most Atlantic and Gulf coast ports, 1819-1832.  The volumes apparently were prepared in the Office of the Secretary of State.  Originally there were nine volumes, but volume 2 is missing.


    The cards provider:  family name; given name; accompanied by; age; sex; marital status; occupation; nationality; last permanent residence; destination; port of entry; name of vessel; and date.  The quantity of information on the card varies.  Given names are sometimes indicated by initials or abbreviations, and entries for names of places and gender of passengers are often abbreviated.
