  • How best to search for imigration to USA from UK

    Could someone tell we how best to search for evidence that relatives emigrated to the USA in the mid to late 1940's from the UK.

    Where might I be able to check ship logs?

    and

    What tools are available to check how their family development when the arrived in Texas?

    thanks for your help.

    You can search outgoing passenger lists on Ancestry and FindmyPast. Ancestry also has incoming passenger lists to the UK in case they came back for a visit.

    You can also search some US passenger lists free here:

      Not sure about Texas records. However, you can search US death records here:

      FamilySearch.org - USSSDI Search

          Sorry, I thought Ellis Island had more recent records.

          The death index on familysearch.org goes up almost to the present date if I remember rightly.

          Ancestry and FindmyPast have passenger lists going up to 1960. Ancestry also has marriage and death records for some States - don't know if Texas is included.

              You might like to look in the Wiki to see if there is anything in there

              USA - Family Tree Forum

              There are also some records on the FamilySearch beta site (and its being added to all the time so its worth checking back)

              FamilySearch Record Search

              and again specifically for the USA
