How Can I Refine the Name
Because immigrants' names or spellings of names often changed
upon arrival in the U.S., you may need to consider alternatives to the name you gave. "Refine Name
and Gender" allows you to select up to two alternate spellings for the passenger, or to type an
alternate spelling of your own.
Tip: Try not to change the name too much-if you'd like to search for a different passenger, click
"Start a New Search."

How Should I Refine Ethnicity?
"Ethnicity" is one of the trickiest categories in the historical record. Outdated or incorrect terms;
confusion over race, religion, and nationality; and everyday errors found their way into the original
records. For the widest search, select all the ethnicities listed for your passenger. To try narrowing
the results, select fewer. Then click 'Search.'
