KDRG has extracted data from 7,591 passenger records (spreadsheet) for
U.S. arrival ports, including Baltimore, Boston, Ellis Island, Galveston, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco
Canada-U.S. border crossings
Brazil and Canada immigration cards
the departure port of Hamburg, Germany
Records included in the extraction are ones containing a Kremenets-district town in any field: residence, birthplace, contact at origin, or contact at destination.
Searching passenger records by town is challenging because (1) some records are not indexed or are indexed inaccurately, (2) the town names on the passenger manifests vary widely in their spelling, and (3) the handwriting on the manifests is sometimes difficult to read. If you know of additional records for Kremenets-district towns, email the site creator (see the page footer), and we will add them.
