Immigration and emigration records include official documents kept by governments to track the movements of people into and out of their country.
In these records, you can often find the age, occupation, place of residence, town of destination and the names of family members.
The best way to find a Immigration & Emigration record is to enter as much information as you can into your search. The more you tell us about your ancestor, the easier it will be to find good matches about him or her.
Once you find a matching Immigration & Emigration record, save it to your family tree—that way you can provide evidence to back up the info in your family tree, easily share your discovery with your family, and quickly find the historical record again later.
