North Dakota Banat Passenger Ship Records

Background

Immigration from the Banat to North Dakota occurred in three main waves centered around the years 1892 - 1893, 1897 - 1898, and 1903. All immigrants in this list departed from Bremen unless otherwise indicated. The earlier ship records often did not give the last residence. After about 1896 the last residence was almost always given in the record.

The fact that many Banater immigrants traveled in groups aided in their identification in the records. Nevertheless, the usual problems of illegable handwriting, faded records as well as the failure to indicate ND (North Dakota) as the destination certainly led to many entries being overlooked. 

Search of the Port of New York records beyond 1897 has not been undertaken and would require a massive effort. 

For background and settlement patterns of the North Dakota Banaters see: Michels, John M. "North Dakota Pioneers from the Banat", 1992, Bismarck, North Dakota. Copies of this publication can be ordered from; University of Mary Press, 7500 University Drive, Bismarck, North Dakota 58504

Additions and corrections to this database can also be made at this address. Because the later passenger ship records sometimes indicated relatives of the immigrant at the destination, it is possible in a number of cases to deduce the wife's maiden name. These are indicated in the following notes.
