Ships Passenger lists

Post by trishmac » Tue Nov 11, 2008 11:17 pm

Is there any way of finding passenger lists for ships coming back to Scotland from America in 1883 and onward? There are plenty going the other way but I cannot seem to find anything for returning exiles.

Did you miss this one Trish :wink: (assuming this is what you mean)

Depending on which article you read some say "complete" but i think they left an "in" out before complete :) . It seems a lot of people know of family coming back but they cant be found on here even giving Ancestry's famous translations. You can search by Port and some seem to have very little movement if very few years.
Scotland - Donaldson / Moggach / Shaw / Geddes / Sim / Gray / Mackie / Richards / Joel / Coull / Mckimmie / Panton / McGregor
Ireland and Scotland - Casey / McDade / Phillips / McCandle / Dinely / Comaskey + various spellings
