Exploring Naturalization and Immigration Records

The Historical Society of Montgomery County announces a new special topic genealogy class for this spring on Wednesday, May 8, 2019, 6:30 PM.

We are a country of immigrants– almost everyone’s family immigrated to this country. As a result, it is necessary to understand immigration and naturalization laws and processes in order to find your family in the records. We will discuss passenger lists and naturalization records and we will explore websites that can help you discover the routes your family traveled to come to this country.
