To whom it may interest, Introduction I sent an email to this list about a project that digitized, transcribed and made available on the Internet the passenger registers of Rotterdam (in The Netherlands) arrivals and departures between 1900 and 1969 of the Holland America Line (HAL)[1]. As noted in the same message the results of the project can be searched and browsed by means of a website of the CBG|Center for Family History in The Netherlands as well as the website of the City Archive of Rotterdam[2]. Searching by means of the CBG website Go to https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/; Click the button marked "Advanced search"; Enter the last and, if known, the first name you're searching for; Click the button marked "Search" and wait for the first results; Now refine the first results by selecting "Migration" from the drop down menu option marked "Document type"; Please note that the refined search results show arrivals and departures from all ports, not just Rotterdam. In order to search arrivals and departures from Rotterdam only enter last and, if known, first name and "Rotterdam" in the search field marked "Place" in step 4. above. Also please note that the use of wildcards in the fields of the search form on https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/ is possible in order to cater for spelling variations, but limited to paying friends of the CBG|Center for Family History. Example using the last name Kitz Go to https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/; Click the button marked "Advanced search"; Enter the last name "Kitz"; Enter the place name "Rotterdam"; Click the button marked "Search" and wait for the first results; Refine the first results by selecting "Migration" from the drop down menu option marked "Document type"; In the search results click on the line that starts with the last name "Kitz" and the first name "Mrs. P"; Now click on "Go to source" in the top right hand corner of the search results that appeared after the previous step; Depending on the preference settings of your browser a new tab or window should open with information specific to the record held at the City Archive of Rotterdam; Scroll down and click on the scan with the green bands above and below it to open the scan that belongs to the search results; Once the scan has opened the top of the page shows that it pertains to a steam ship (S.S.) named "Rotterdam" under the command of Captain G. Stenger, departing New York for Rotterdam on June 28th, 1910; On the 7th line from the bottom of the page is the entry for Mrs. P. Kitz, who's final destination was Krakau (Krakow in English) at the time in Austria (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krak%C3%B3w#19th_century), now in Poland; The entry (no. 30334) pertaining to Mrs. P. Kitz also shows that she travelled alone with an infant.

To whom it may interest, Passenger registers of the Holland America Line (HAL) According to an article[1] in an issue of Gen.magazine[2], a magazine for family history published by the CBG|Center for Family History (CBG) in The Netherlands, between 1880 and 1920 some one million Eastern-Europeans, often of Jewish descent, made the crossing over the Atlantic Ocean to the 'New World'. At the time the HAL had small offices in countries like Bulgaria, Latvia and Russia from which tickets were sold for a train trip to (the port of) Rotterdam in The Netherlands, from there an Atlantic crossing by ship to America and subsequent travel to any train station in the United States of America. Ships sailed on different lines to the East coast of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba and back. There also used to be a so-called Java-New York Line, a connection from Europe through the Panama Channel and on to destinations on the West coast of the United States. Passenger registers from the 19th century have not been preserved, but from the period 1900-1969 the lists of the HAL can be consulted[3]. According to the article the passenger lists are among the most frequently consulted sources of the Rotterdam City Archives and contain more than three million personal details, a treasure trove of information for professional and hobby genealogists alike. Since 2018 a digitized version of the lists is being indexed by a team of volunteers. In 2019 the first results[4], passenger lists covering 1900 to 1920, were made available to the general public through https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/. Project Status According to the project's page, on the website that hosts this as well as many other similar projects that are being outsourced to the crowd by Dutch archive institutions through an initiative known as 'Vele Handen' (in English: 'Many Hands'), 1,601 volunteers have collaboratively transcribed 114,572 scans that comprise the passenger registers of the Holland America Line (HAL) between 1900 and 1969. At present all scans are reported to have been transcribed and checked. The entire project is therefore complete, as a result of which all passenger lists of the HAL have been scanned, transcribed and made available on the Internet. Interested?
