Hawaii Immigration Records Index

Hawaii offers a variety of immigration records that are invaluable for genealogical research. These include passenger lists, naturalization records, and Chinese Exclusion Act documentation, which detail the arrival and settlement of immigrants to the islands. Passenger lists, available for ships arriving in Hawaii, can provide names, ages, origins, and occupations of immigrants, helping to trace family roots. Naturalization records, particularly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, document the legal process of becoming a U.S. citizen. Additionally, records related to the Chinese Exclusion Act, such as Certificates of Identity and immigration petitions, are crucial for those researching Asian ancestors. These documents help genealogists build a clearer picture of ancestral migration patterns and connections to Hawaii.
