A new collection has been recently added to the New York records on FamilySearch.org

The New York Index to Alien Crewmen Who Were Discharged or Who Deserted, 1917-1957, contains indexes to alien crewmen who were discharged or who deserted at the Port of New York. The records may include the name of the crewman, age, vessel on which he served, date of discharge or desertion. This is a browsable collection, you cannot search on an individual name.

The website will be covered from A to Z, beginning with opening the site to signing in and exploring all the categories that are available to a researcher. With new records and images of original records being added for all countries around the world on a daily basis, this is a presentation that will help users make the most of this resource.
