Re: Le Havre Passenger lists--new resource? #general
Jan Meisels Allen
Rob Weisskirch asked about the Le Havre Passenger List that was listed on
Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. The French Genealogy Blog posted a collection of surviving shipping documentation for Le Havre registered vessels and held by the Departmental Archives. Not all the documentation survived, therefore the collection does not represent full listings of all shipping >from Le Havre. Some documentation is held at other archives. These are not only passenger lists, but fishing boats and vessels sailing to other French ports. The title of the entire collection is Inscription Maritime which may be researched at: http://recherche.archivesdepartementales76.net/?id=recherche_guidee_maritime (in French only). I have not personally used this site but for those who have ancestors who traveled not by the usual passenger ships >from Le Havre to North America or the French colonies it might be of use. The article may be read at: http://tinyurl.com/j2mp6an Original url: http://french-genealogy.typepad.com/genealogie/2016/07/celebrate-le-havre-departing-passenger-lists-are-online.html The article lists the different categories and dates of coverage >from the mid 1700's to the mid 1900's.
