December 3 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm EST
Our program speaker, Bryan L. Mulcahy, will present in person “Immigration and Naturalization Research”.
Our seminar will discuss how immigration records can be a rich source for genealogy research. The presentation, and electronic study guides that will be on the Manatee Genealogical Society website, will cover the most efficient ways to research your immigrant ancestors, where to look in print and online, and the nuances and clues within the records. Also discussed during the presentation will be the ports of entry, migration routes and places to look for your ancestors along the way, along with the naturalization process.
