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.

    You might want to try: Scotland Emigration and Immigration

    Are you aware that we have a group just for Scotland?

    https://community.familysearch.org/s/group/0F93A000000DI5ESAW/scotland-genealogy-research

     

    and another group for New York?

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