Ancestry’s Immigration and Travel Records

Humans have been migrating and traveling for centuries.  In more recent centuries, they have kept more detailed records.  The 20th century records have more details.  The details can help tell a story.  Ancestry has a Special Collection section called Immigration and Travel.  These records include passenger lists, arrival records, naturalization records, citizenship records, passports, border crossings, convict transportation records, crew lists, and information about the ships.  Sometimes you can learn who they traveled with, who they left in the old country, who they would meet in the new country, where they lived in the old country, where they planned to live in the new country, and their occupation.  Can you find your ancestors in these records?  

I am working on my dissertation for a Masters of Science in Genealogical, Palaeographic (British spelling) & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.  I have already received a Postgraduate Certificate and a Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic (British spelling) & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.  My dissertation is about the Scottish living in Missouri (United States) in the 1920s and 1930s.

Also, I offer genealogy services. I can help you find information on your ancestors.  I can give presentations on genealogical or family history information.  If you need help with a project or presentation, please email me at detailedturtle@gmail.com
