It seems like most of us are looking for immigration records in the quest for our ancestors. Fortunately, there are many resources available to assist us in this quest.
Here are a few sites that I’ve used with success.
Ellis Island Records
Castle Garden Records
Immigrant Ancestors Project – BYU
Immigration and Ship Passenger List Research Guide
ISTO – Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild
NARA (US National Archives & Records Administration)
TheShipsList
Naturalization Records
Olive Tree Genealogy Ship Records
Migration Helps – FamilySearch
If you haven’t looked at all of these sites in your ancestral search, give them a try. Each has provides records that you may not find on any other site.
Free Genealogy Resources – Web Search is another tool for your research quiver. You might as well bookmark it on your first visit because once you’ve looked at it and used its tools, you’ll keep coming back.
