Boston, Massachusetts, was a major immigration port, second only to New York in some periods. Passenger lists from the 1820s onward document waves of Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Jewish, and Eastern European immigrants. Boston’s proximity to the Canadian Maritimes also brought overland migrants. Manifests frequently include detailed personal data, particularly after 1891. These records are essential for tracing immigrants who settled throughout New England.
