"LPC" on 1909 Passenger Detention List?

Legg inn av Pedro » 14 jan 2005 05:50:41

I have a passenger list that is a "Record of Aliens Held for Special
Inquiry." On this list, for the individuals I am researching, the cause
for the detention is identified as only "LPC." Does anyone know what
this means?

Thanks.

Transcriber's Notes:

LPC recorded after Cause of Detention is the abbreviation for "Likely to
Become a Public Charge".

Thanks, Joe. Is there a repository for such acronyms?

Pedro,

There are probably a lot. I just did a search on the Net, and got quite a
few hits. One was http://www.heritagejunction.com/Symbols.htm

Some others.
http://www.theshipslist.com/Forms/faq.html

I found the notation LPC beside my ancestor's name on a passenger list,
noting detained individuals in a column headed "cause". What does LPC mean?
(United States only)
LPC, stands for "Likely Public Charge." The LPC exclusion was introduced to
US immigration law in 1891 and was the most common cause of detention and
grounds for exclusion/deportation. Immigrants were most likely considered a
likely public charge if they had little money AND no family, friends, or
prospects, OR if they were disabled in some way that would prevent them from
earning their own living. The majority of LPC exclusions were overcome
during the Special Inquiry process, usually when friends, family, or some
Immigrant Aid organization came and vouched for the person or posted a bond
for them. Other common exclusion/detention "cause" abbreviations included:
LCD - Loathsome contagious disease

ACL - Alien Contract Labor

See also Manifest Markings website for additional passenger list
annotations. And that is here, and looks like one of the best sites.

In 1926 verification clerks began to record the
verification (record check) and certification activity on
each passenger list record. The annotations may be found on
any passenger list, before or after 1926, but they will all
relate to naturalization activity occurring in 1926 or
later.

For more details and help interpreting naturalization
annotations see Markings on the Manifest's Occupation
Column by Marian L. Smith, Historian of the BCIS. There is
a link at http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/

Briefly, "LPC" is "Likely Public Charge," taken from the
section of law which excludes anyone who might become a
burden on the public. It was a very common exclusion
