Between 1871 and 1910 more than 2.3 million Russian      immigrants arrived in the United States, some 600,000 between 1871 and 1898      and 1.7 million between 1899 and 1910. Of the 1.7 million Russian emigrants      who arrived in the U.S. between 1899 and 1910, 43 percent were Jews, 27      percent Poles, 9 percent Lithuanians, 8 percent Finns, 5 percent Germans,      and 4 percent indigenous Russians.
The first six volumes of
Migration      from the Russian Empire
cover the period from January 1875 through June      1891.
Volumes One through Six contain data on hundreds of thousands      of persons of Russian nationality who immigrated to the United States from      Russian territories. The information was extracted from the original ships’      passenger lists held by the Temple-Balch Center for Immigration Research.      These passenger lists–customs passenger lists and immigration passenger      lists, as they are known–are the only records that furnish proof of the      arrival in the United States of all 2.3 million immigrants from the Russian      Empire.
Information in the first volume corresponds to the      information given in the passenger lists–name of passenger, his age, sex,      occupation, country of origin, place of residence, and destination;      additionally, each passenger list is headed by the name of the ship, the      port of embarkation, the port of arrival, and the date of arrival. By the      1890s, information furnished by the passengers would include their last      place of residence in Europe and their precise destination in the U.S.
For researchers investigating their Russian family origins,      this type of information is the very bedrock on which all American family      history is built.
