+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Holland-America Line (HAL) Passenger lists 1900-1940 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ A JewishGen InfoFile I. Introduction By: Ken, Ida and Susan Recu Park Forest, IL An often overlooked source of information are the Holland-America Line Passenger lists/Rotterdam Departure lists. These indexed passenger lists include individuals who sailed from Rotterdam or boarded at Boulogne and Southampton to enter the U.S. at the port of New York during the years 1900-1940. The departure lists could be of great value for researchers who have ancestors who departed from Rotterdam on Holland-America Line vessels such as the Amsterdam, Edam, Leerdam, Maasdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Pennland, Potsdam, Ryndam, Rotterdam, Spaarndam, Statendam, Veendam, Volendam, Warzawa, Werkendam, Westernland and Zaandam. The passenger lists show the name of the ship, its destination, the date it left port and the amounts paid for first, second and third class, sea and train fees. The passenger's name is included along with the details of passage arrangements. The indexes are grouped by the first letter of the passenger's surname and begin December 6, 1900. They include departure date and the name of the ship. The Holland-America Line Passenger lists are available at the Rotterdam City Archives in the Netherlands, the New York Public Library in the U.S., through the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and other library locations around the world. The New York Public Library has only the indexes (call number XMG-1755). A local Family History Center (FHC) can order fiche from Salt Lake City at a very nominal cost to the researcher. The fiche will then remain permanently at the FHC. The Family History Library Catalog entry has the full description of the lists and indexes, as well as the numbers needed to order the fiche. The catalog entry may be viewed at http://www.familysearch.org, or at any FHC. As a whole, the lists are of good quality and many are quite easy to read. After locating the name of the ancestor being sought, the researcher will have the name of the vessel and departure date. Consultation of the "Morton Allen Directory" will provide the ship's arrival date. The researcher can then go directly to the New York passenger arrival records. II A. STAAT VAN PASSAGEGELDEN (Table of passenger fees) are the passenger lists and begin with the ship's name.
