Immigration records of the country to which your ancestor immigrated may help you determine your ancestor's place of origin, occupation, and age. Knowing an approximate date and port of arrival or the name of the ship on which your ancestor sailed will help you search immigration records. Naturalization records in the destination country can be more helpful than immigration records in determining your ancestor's place of origin. To learn more about naturalization records, read [[Tracing Immigrant Origins|Tracing Immigrant Origins]] or the articles about ''Naturalization and Citizenship'' for each destination country. | Immigration records of the country to which your ancestor immigrated may help you determine your ancestor's place of origin, occupation, and age.

*Scott, Kenneth. 1979.''British aliens in the United States during the War of 1812.'' Baltimore, Md: Genealogical Pub. Co. ({{FHL|973 W4s}}) As the War of 1812 began, all residents of the United States from Brtain who had not begun the naturalzation process were considered an enemy of the country. To overcome this status, it was necessary for them to register locally with descriptions of themselves and their family members, how long they had been in the country, their occupation and their residency. This book lists these individuals and their information. It is a very good source of British immigrants prior to passenger lists beginning in 1820. | *Scott, Kenneth. 1979.''British aliens in the United States during the War of 1812.''
