How do I find passenger lists for ships from Scotland to New York in the late 1870s? My ancestors left but came back a few years later, back to Edinburgh. But they had two and maybe three children in New York. I want o see the passsenger lists.

Although I don't know the exact answer to your question

Keep in mind that when searching Historical Records in FamilySearch - you can search by collection TYPE - which allows you to focus on immigration and naturalization records

 

so I did a sample search on "SMITH" and you will see the link below that has a section for that type of record.

you can do the same sort of query for the name/family you are researching.

FindMyPast and Ancestry both have a number of incoming passenger lists to Britain, also many outgoing passenger lists.
