Genial Genealogists
Monday, December 6, 2021 - 6:30pm
December Genial Genealogists hybrid meeting: Immigrant Records: More than just ship passenger arrival lists.
Most of us aren’t going over rivers and through woods to see our grandmothers on sleighs, but in 2019, the United States National Archives looked beyond passenger ship arrival lists and demonstrated how we can do that too.
Session Description: The breadth of immigration records available online and in archives can seem overwhelming. This session will identify what original records you can find at the National Archives and what you can discover online. Records discussed will range from passport applications, naturalization documents, passenger arrival lists, and more! Discover how immigration laws have changed over time and how the records that exist have been impacted by those laws; understand the different types of records available through the National Archives; and learn how to get started with research.
Presenter: Elizabeth Burnes is an Archivist for the National Archives at Kansas City who serves as NARA's Subject Matter Expert for Immigrant Records and is the lead archivist for Alien Files (A-Files) reference. She received a Master’s degree in History and Museum Studies at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
