The Jan/Feb 2022 issue of FamilyTree Magazine will be uber-super helpful for those family historians beginning to struggle with emigrant and immigrant ancestors.
(Did you know: emigrant meant "leaving" while immigrant meant coming. They emigrated from Norway and immigrated to Chicago.)
The very first article, "First Generation," reads: "Make these three kinds of records your first stop when researching your immigrant ancestors." And what are those three kinds? (1) Passenger Manifests and Customs Lists; (2) Naturalization Records; (3) Alien Registration; and then (4) Other Records. The magazine gives ten pages to explaining the points of those records.
Other pertinent "good stuff" in this issue includes:
**** Information on the soon-to-be-released 1921 British censuses
**** 7 tips for fact-checking online family trees
**** Discovering your ancestor's occupation
**** Create a "genealogy will" outlining for your heirs what you'd like for your research after you've passed on
At the very least, click to the FamilyTree Magazine website and sign up for their FREE updates, blog and newsletters. Why not???
