Program Description

Event Details

Finding immigration records is the first step in finding where and when your family came to the United States--so that you can research your family history in other countries.  Ship manifests, naturalization papers, and other documents are all part of immigration records.  This lecture will go over how and where to find these records as well as the changing nature of naturalization laws.

The sixth in an eight-part series of classes presented by Local History and Genealogy librarian Gwen Kelley.
