Immigrants

Alien registration forms constitute an important federal immigration record series rich in genealogical details that was recently transferred from US Citizenship and Immigration Services to the National Archives Electronic Records Division. Join us to learn about why non-naturalized residents filed these forms just after the 1940 Census and what information we might find in them about family members; we will then practice using a free database to identify and request these useful records.
