1892 Early Immigrant 'Dreamers' To The USA

A brief review of the 2 Jan., 1892 New York City Passenger's List presented to the Collector of Customs, identified 33 individuals aging in range from 2 thru 50. They were identified as "citizens" of Ireland, England and Russia. Twenty-seven could read and write.Six could not read and write. They were identifed as: child,wife, laborer,artisan,tailor,smith,farmer,infant,machinist. None were designated 'criminal' nor 'non-criminal' nor 'at-risk'.These immigrants could be termed 'Dreamers' of the 1892 immigration period.It would be interesting to compare successive groupings of immigrants since 1892 to understand any evolution of the immigration admission criteria.Interested readers should review the following link, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Annie_Moore_Arrival.jpg This blog post is just a microscopic cross sectional view of the issue and any interpretations of the findings should be justly limited.There are likely some other sources of historical data that have not been reviewed by this blogger.
