Basic Genealogy: Crossing the Pond—Tracing Ancestors in Immigration and Naturalization Records

Join Cape Girardeau Research Center Coordinator Bill Eddleman for the next installment in his genealogy series: “Crossing the Pond: Tracing Ancestors in Immigration and Naturalization Records.” Most family historians in the U.

This session will summarize surviving immigration records from different time periods and where to find them.
