One of the ultimate goals for locating the
immigrant ancestor is finding the record of how they came to America. New
York Ellis Island, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Galveston, New Orleans,
were all major ports of entry for those seeking a new life. As such, Immigration
and Naturalization Records are very important to your genealogical research
but are often overlooked. Immigration records help the family historian to understand the movements of
their ancestry as they relocated to different parts of the world. How much information is found on an
immigration or naturalization record usually depends on what year the event
occurred. These types of
records can help you find the date of immigration and or naturalization,
ship's passenger list, port of arrival, and the place of birth for your
ancestor. Some records include
occupations, names and ages of minor children and more. We want to know where our ancestors came
from. We want to know when they arrived in North America and when they became
citizens. Naturalization and Immigration records are the answer. Sometimes
these records for an ancestor are the only way to discover the family origins.
All of the records and databases listed below are FREE and
can be accessed and searched without having to pay for a subscription. We try not to list any sites that have
only a few records for the purpose of getting you to a website that will charge
a fee to actually see the record beyond just a name.
