It all depends on what information they bothered to record. Some will give you the name, address, where they are goingf to live and how much money they had on them, others just the name. If its a passenger going to the states look on the Ellis Island site (www.ellisisland.org) You can join for free.

Thanks Janet, I'm on the hunt for Jones's who went to Canada, so this is become a time and money consuming branch!
