Uncovering an ancestor's immigration story is a rich experience for many genealogists. However, challenges exist when tracing immigrants during the colonial period through 1890. In Immigration from Colonial Times to 1890, students will discover resources for identifying an individual's or family's immigration while exploring methods to contextualize and further understand their experience.
Immigration from Colonial Times to 1890, coordinated by D. Joshua Taylor, MA, MLS, FUGA, explores various compiled and original source materials, including online and onsite resources. Case studies will provide methodologies for finding immigrant stories despite missing or inconsistent records. Other topics covered included forced immigration, colonial settlements, indentured servants, passenger lists, customs passenger lists, naturalization records, foreign passenger records, name variants, compiled databases, newspapers, and immigrant societies.
