Exploring Deeds for Genealogical Research and New Reference Guides Announcement

This episode of Research Like a Pro focuses on the intricacies of tracing immigration records in genealogical research. Diana and Nicole discuss the common challenges faced when trying to locate an ancestor's passenger list and the various entry points into the U.S., such as New York, New Orleans, Boston, San Francisco, Canada, and Mexico. They emphasize the importance of combing through U.S. records for clues about an ancestor's home country, ship's name, date of immigration, and family relationships, highlighting the role of naturalization records, military records, passports, ethnic church records, and more. Through a detailed case study of Irish immigrant Patrick Savage, they illustrate how to navigate the complexities of common names and record gaps by piecing together information from both U.S. and home country records, underscoring the necessity of a comprehensive approach that includes looking at census records from 1900 to 1940 for immigration and naturalization details.
