Many of the ships from that period did not have manifests or other records of passengers. However, some did, and there are other lists of emigrants, those transported, and others coming to the Americas. Some of these have been collected and published in book form over the years, and are often available at genealogical libraries, the genealogy sections of public libraries, and often available through the Inter Library Loan program, through which you can request that your local public library be loaned these books from other libraries.

Good luck.
