Did you know that Galveston was once a major hub for immigrants from all over the world?
You can search the Galveston Online Database for the passenger manifesto to see if your relatives arrived and were processed through the Port of Galveston (Link: https://www.galvestonhistory.org/sites/1877-tall-ship-elissa-at-the-galveston-historic-seaport/galveston-immigration-database).
Also, take time to explore the vast resources devoted to Galveston's immigration and port:
- Houston Chronicle: Waves of Immigrants
- Bryan Museum: Why Galveston?
- UTSA Libraries: Port of Galveston
- Texas Coop Power: Galveston Immigration
To help students continue their historical journey, add Galveston: Gateway to America, an engaging, interactive comic book with writing and coloring pages:
