Session Descriptions
Session 1 - Discovering Your Immigrant's Origins
Pin down your elusive immigrant ancestor's place of origin using some well-known – and lesser-known – record sets, ideas, and techniques. Continue the search to find your ancestor's foreign origins in some lesser-used record sets – and help contextualize their life in the United States.
Session 2 - Naturalization Know-How: The Laws and Records of U.S. Citizenship
Many records were created when immigrant ancestors became American citizens. Learn what they are and how to find them.
Session 3 - Alien Registration in America
Learn about various alien registrations instituted in the USA as early as 1798, the records they created, and where to find immigrant ancestors within.
Session 4 - Immigration Records Roadshow
Are you confused about when your grandma became a citizen? Have you been looking for a ship manifest for years, to no avail? Submit your immigration records challenge, and if selected, Rich will feature your challenge in an Immigration Records Roadshow session!
