Notes from NARA's catalog: This microfilm publication reproduces passenger manifests of vessels arriving at Galveston and the subports of Houston, Brownsville, Port Arthur, Sabine, and Texas City, Texas. The early lists are shipping company manifests. The later lists are on Immigration and Naturalization Service forms. The lists are arranged chronologically by date of arrival beginning in January 1896. Some lists are annotated to show the date of admission as a resident alien or date of naturalization. Some entries are stamped "debarred" if the alien was not allowed to enter the United States. Some of the lists include names of U.S. citizens returning from abroad. Roll 1 includes several lists from 1893, but none from 1894 or 1895. Roll 14 contains one list for September 16, 1911, and both rolls 32 and 33 include lists for 1938. On rolls 24 and 29, the first list was filmed out of order. Roll 24 includes several lists that are very difficult to read due to poor focus having been used during the filming process.
