Seeking missing "Page 1" for Antwerp/Havre passengers - S.S. Bordeaux (Arrived New Orleans, March 18
Hi everyone,
I am tracking down a microfilming/page-order error on a NARA passenger list for the S.S. Bordeaux, which arrived in New Orleans in March 1890 under Master A. Gandillon.
The manifest is split into different boarding ports, but the pages are completely out of order and intermixed with other ship arrivals (like the S.S. Floridian). I have located:
- The Bordeaux, France passenger list (complete at lines 1–60, ending with the Master's signature).
- The end of the Antwerp, Belgium / Havre list, which features a certification stamp from the New Orleans Customs Collector's office dated late March/early April 1890, but only shows lines 1 through 10 on that page.
Because the voyage description notes transit from Havre via Antwerp, I suspect there is a missing "Page 1" or a larger chunk of the Antwerp/Havre manifest floating around on this same microfilm roll/digital image collection.
Has anyone browsing this specific microfilm roll found where the missing pages for the Antwerp/Havre segment were accidentally filmed? Any image/frame numbers or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

@NicholasVilelle Please provide hyperlinks to what you have found. Anyone wishing to help you will need to hunt down the manifests that you have already found, and that wastes their time.

@NicholasVilelle Here's what I found on Google AI National Archives (NARA): U.S. federal passenger arrival records begin systematically around 1820. You can browse passenger arrival lists by port (e.g., New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans) using the National Archives Passenger Arrival Records. Many of these records are digitized and available for free viewing. I did not check FS but NARA records can often be found thru the catalog. Best wishes
