Immigration
This is a Pathways Guide to records relating to immigrants and immigration, in particular those records which name ships and those which give an indication of the length of time spent in Queensland.
As well as familiar passenger lists, included are records which are not often use by researchers. For example, the 'alien registrations' which were required during both World Wars often provide information about entry into Australia well back into the 1800s.
