Coming to America: The Immigrant Experience (Zoom)

with Laura Street Chaplin

Learn more about what the experience was like for your immigrant ancestors, as well as the types of records you can use to find and document your ancestor's unique story.

Starting with a fascinating historical perspective on what the experience was like for our immigrant ancestors, this presentation then leads into the types of immigration or emigration records kept and where to find them. Where were the ports of embarkation? Where did people go, depending on the year, when they arrived in America? What about naturalization – never simple, especially if you were female. Some of the best immigration record search engines will be demonstrated.
