Program Description
Event Details
About 47 million people immigrated to the US between 1607 and 1990 and about 70% entered through the Port of New York. However, you need to consider a broader search in all ports, such as Boston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Providence. Also, an entry through Canada and Mexico should be researched. Professional genealogist Christine Cohen will review the websites and resources to locate clues to these entry ports such as state censuses, voter registrations, WWI draft registrations, and passport applications.
