Alfred Hitchcock arrives in the US in 1937

Sailing on the Queen Mary, the family of Alfred Hitchcock arrived in New York in 1937.

You can search for your relatives--who probably had less "direction" that Hitchcock-- in passenger lists--just remember that the earlier ones are not typed and were written in nearly invisible ink ;-).

Laurence Olivier arriving on the Normandie in 1938

Laurence Olivier came over to the United States several times. The image to the right is his arrival in 1938 on the Normandie.

Fortunately this list was typed which really makes the reading a little easier on the eyes and aids in the transcription process.

Those who wish to search for Olivier in Ancestry's immigration databases can do so
here. There are several entries for his name the "right" way.

Remember that when searching for your own ancestors or those whose names are handwritten, transcription discrepancies are a definite possibility.
