Millions of Americans trace their family history to an immigrant. According to an Ancestry.com article ( Rediscovering Passenger Lists ), "Since 1820, over 60 million persons have arrived at more than 100 different ports in the United States. . . ." Finding a record to reveal where that immigrant came from, or when and where they first stepped foot on American soil, is often a long and frustrating task. Resource materials of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) may help in some of this search, as they are the records of 20th century immigration to the United States. Even if an ancestor is located on some of the earlier passenger lists, requirements did not include recording home town, just the nationality.

Extractions: Index of Topics Ethnic Groups ... Other Topics Between 1869 and the late 1930s, over 100,000 juvenile migrants were sent to Canada from Great Britain during the child emigration movement. Motivated by social and economic forces, churches and philanthropic organizations sent orphaned, abandoned and pauper children to Canada. Many believed that these children would have a better chance for a healthy, moral life in rural Canada, where families welcomed them as a source of cheap farm labour and domestic help. PA-117285 After arriving by ship, the children were sent to distributing homes, such as Fairknowe in Brockville, and then sent on to farmers in the area. Although many of the children were poorly treated and abused, others experienced a better life here than if they had remained in the urban slums of England. Many served with the Canadian and British Forces during both World Wars. The names of Home Children are included on passenger lists; however, the lists prior to 1925 contain few details about the children other than name, age, sending agency and destination.

Extractions: (Links for other regions at bottom of page) "When I began to find my roots, I was absolutely convinced that "my family's file" was out there somewhere, that it contained all of my history in all branches, and all I had to do was find out where it was located; i.e., genealogy was the hunt for a complete but already-created file that was all about my family. [Excerpts from: "A Jewish Genealogic Fable"] I would like to start by stating that I am not a professional genealogist. As I worked at developing the family tree on my Sephardic side I gradually discovered that there were fertile areas of research that were different from the sources I used for my Ashkenazi half. Furthermore, these sources were far less known than the sources for Ashkenazi genealogy. The purpose of this article is to help others also attempting to research their Sephardic ancestry and maybe reduce their frustration levels in discovering these sources. By no means is this an exhaustive list of sources. It is just a sampling to get you started and encourage others to share their knowledge as we all grow and learn together .

Jewish Ancestry For millennia, jewish communities have been uprooted and scattered across Family Trees genealogy records Historical Newspapers immigration records http://www.ancestralfindings.com/jewishroots.htm
Extractions: 10 Tips for Jewish Genealogy Cultural identity isn't always a question of precise geography. Take Jewish genealogy, for example. For millennia, Jewish communities have been uprooted and scattered across continents, making family lines notoriously difficult to trace. But as no family history is impossible to track, Ancestry.com has compiled the following list of tips for those just beginning their Jewish genealogy. 1) Living Relatives Your family's nationality should be among your first key discoveries. Most Jewish-Americans can trace their ancestry to one of the following ethnicities - Dutch, German, Russian, Lithuanian, Polish, Rumanian, or Sephardic (Spanish and Portuguese Jews). Identifying your nationality comparatively early in the process will help in locating records from your ancestral homeland. FIND YOUR ANCESTORS: Religious caste (or tribal lineage) is another important clue. The three Jewish castes, Cohanim, Leviim and Israelite, can help determine your surname origin. The surname Levy, for example, denotes that one descends from the Leviim caste. Often, information about your surname and tribal lineage will help you narrow your search to a particular cultural subset.
