Mobile served as a port of entry and is included in the National Archives microfilm of Copies of Lists of Passengers arriving at Miscellaneous Ports on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and at Ports on the Great Lakes, 1820'1873 (NARA Microfilm Publication M575). An index is available entitled Index to Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Ports in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, 1890'1924 (T517). Most foreign-born immigrants to Alabama arrived through the port of New York.
