Passenger List Indexes
- The Immigration Indexes are a very simple method of introducing
students to historical research and the archives.
- There are 3 index lists but the ‘Index of Unassisted Inward
Passengers 1852-1923’ is the best to start with. Teachers/students
can search for details of when their ancestors arrived in Victoria.
- They can enter a surname and any other information available
such as the year someone migrated or the names of the ship on
which they came to Victoria.
- The Index gives you a persons’ age, date of arrival, the
port and lists all the other passengers on the ship and the port
they left from- B (British), F (Foreign), N (New Zealand).
