Passenger and Immigration Lists 1500-1900 (PILI)
Anyone with ancestors who entered the United States between 1500 and 1900 may find Passenger and Immigration Lists (PILI), 1500-1900 to be a useful database. For those whose family members came to America through ports other than New York City's Ellis Island (operating for immigration from 1892-1924), it allows for easier searching of thousands of source records organized in a concisely coded manner by P.William Filby, former British cryptographer, and former Director of the Maryland Historical Society. Originally published in 1981 with 500,000 records, the index currently contains more than five million records of immigrants to the United States derived from the original published volume and thirty-three supplements. Annually updated, the index solves part of the massive immigrant hunt by giving codes for sources, the majority of which appear as annotated entries on the WorldVitalRecords.com site.
How is it organized?
Entries for the database show the person being researched listed as: last name, first name, age at arrival, year and place of arrival, code for finding the source where the entry for the index came from, and page within the source for that individual. For many entries, PILI sources are listed after the source code giving instant bibliographical information for finding the original record. The records contained within this index start at 1500 with entries going to ports in Virginia, the West Indies, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Venezuela, to 1900 with more than 12,000 entries and as many locations.

Dear Cliff Gittens,
Thanks for your email.
I looked in the Passenger and Immigration Lists Bibliography, and found the source code 2144 as requested. The entry reads as follows:

For additions, see no. 2120, Fothergill. (Lancour 13)
I've also included the entry for 2120 in case it is needed:
