Instant Access, Growing Resource
The International & Passenger Records Subscription makes it easier and more convenient to trace family history from any Internet-connected computer, at home or away. Ancestors from far away lands are just a few clicks away at http://www.genealogy.com, where enthusiasts can search by name across 14 important, internationally focused online databases. Unlike Internet Family Archives or CD-ROMs, which are static, this ever-growing online resource will give subscribers continuous access to new information and names, making the new subscription increasingly valuable to the family history researcher.

Currently, the International & Passenger Records Subscription features family history information from a broad spectrum of time and place, including Western Europe, Great Britain, and passenger lists covering all of America's major immigration ports. And, as the collection continues to grow in the future, users can expect to gain access to other significant projects, including additional German, Irish, and English titles. With this Internet subscription, enthusiasts can rummage through pedigrees, land records, and passenger lists, discovering information on actual family lines across the seas and beyond. Through the comprehensive passenger and immigration lists in the database, searchers can now trace the vast majority of immigrants to the United States, particularly in the 19th century, providing them with breakthrough clues they need to link their ancestors to a distant point of origin.
