Seeking how Charles Demarque came to New York in 1863

beauport01930 Apr 22, 2019 12:46 PM

After 5 years of searching, I turn to the community. My gr. grandfather Charles Demarque b. 1851, Paris, France. Unable to Find Early Records on Charles Demarque, Paris to New York. It is stated on his Naturalization document that he arrived into New York 1863. I searched every ship with no success. Could a 12 year old arrive alone? His parents were in Paris, France. Few of his records are accurate.

Dear Ms. Penta,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located a series titled Passenger Lists, 1820 - 1897 in the Records of the U.S. Customs Service (Record Group 36). It is also available as National Archives Microfilm Publication M237 and digitally on Ancestry for a fee. Or you may view these records online at one NARA's facilities for free via ALIC. For the nearest NARA location, please consult our web page at https://www.archives.gov/locations/.

We also located additional series including Abstracts of Passenger Lists, 1820-1895 and Records of Foreign Arrivals, 1860 - 1919, both in RG 36. For information about and access to these 3 series, please contact the National Archives at New York (RE-NY) via email at newyork.archives@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
