The historical immigrant experience was full of challenges. Genealogist Laura Chaplin will explain what many people faced as they journeyed to America.
This presentation begins with an engaging look at the immigrant experience from a historical perspective, followed by an exploration of the types of immigration and emigration records that were kept and where to find them. The naturalization process will also be covered, and, time permitting, we'll demonstrate some of the best search engines for finding immigration records.
This program will be presented using Zoom. Participants must register and provide a working email address to receive the login information.
