Anyone researching their family's history just got a great new tool at
Ancestry.com.
The site just added a function that allows users to search arrivals to
the city during the first half of the Twentieth Century.
Excerpt from website:
This database is an index to border crossings and passenger and
crew lists of vessels arriving at Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan
between 1905 and 1957. Information contained in this database includes:
name, age, birth date, birthplace, gender, ethnicity/nationality, last
residence, vessel or airline name, and dates of arrival and departure.
