Yearning to Breathe Free: Immigration and Naturalization Records - Austintown

When: Thursday, March 07, 2019 - 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Where: Austintown Library at AU Meeting Room (Large)

We are descendants of adventurers, travelers, and slaves.  Our ancestors came to America willingly or by force, seeking escape from oppression or to become, for a time, the oppressed.  Some came for opportunity and the rule of law, some for religious freedom and the right to own property.  Whether they came as colonists or as 21st Century New Americans, many left documented “footprints” that serve as our passport back through time to our ancestors’ origins.  This crucial part of genealogical research involves careful examination of historical records.  Records discussed include Passenger Lists, Citizenship & Naturalization Records, Border Crossings & Passports, Crew Lists, Immigration & Emigration Books, Slave Manifests, and Passport Applications.  For adults and teens.  Registration is required by telephone 330-744-8636, or online via the Events Calendar.
