HONOLULU — It’s now possible to find out about people who came to Hawaii throughout the first half of the 20th century.

Ancestry.com announced Tuesday that it has launched a new collection, called “Honolulu Passenger Lists, 1900-1953.” The lists haven’t been available online until now.
The more than 1.4 million records of passenger arrivals in Honolulu include such information as name, birth year, ethnicity, port and date of arrival and departure, as well as ship or airline name.
Ancestry.com says the collection includes such familiar names as John Wayne, who arrived in Honolulu on March 19, 1952, aboard the ship Lurline for the filming of “Big Jim McLain.”
The company says it has also launched another collection, called “Reports of Deaths of American Citizens Abroad, 1963-1974.”
