In the mid 1850s to the late 1910s, our European immigrant ancestors flooded the shore of America with hope in their hearts and nothing in their pockets. Learn about what the trip across the ocean was like and what they likely experienced once they stepped onto American soil. Find out where to find, and how to examine ship passenger lists, naturalization records, and other documents to gain a greater insight into the lives of your immigrant ancestors.
