MyHeritage has expanded its genealogical offerings with the release of two passenger list collections on 2 January 2026. While these records have been available through Ancestry and Findmypast, their presence on MyHeritage provides another access point for researchers.
The United Kingdom and Ireland, Outgoing Passenger Lists, 1890-1960, contains over 23 million records of individuals departing from UK and Irish ports, while the Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960, document arrivals with more than 15 million records. Records typically include names, birth dates or ages, residences, departure and arrival details, and vessel names. Record images are linked.
While this doesn’t represent newly discovered historical material, it does represent increased accessibility—a straightforward expansion that offers convenience for researchers already working within MyHeritage’s platform.
Note that this is based on information posted by MyHeritage; I was unable to test the collections. At the time of writing, there was an issue with the MyHeritage website, including problems entering information into the search box. Patience.
