+==Finding Town of Origin==
+Records in the countries emigrated from are kept on the local level. You must first identify the '''name of the town''' where your ancestors lived to access those records. If you do not yet know the name of the town of your ancestor's birth, there are well-known strategies for a thorough hunt for it.

+==Background==
+''This heading will include information and subheadings (as needed) detailing the history, trends, peoples, or other relevant information about the nature of immigration in this state or country. Subheadings may be included as necessary for specific cultural groups or immigration/emigration patterns. ''
+==Immigration Records==
+'''Immigration''' refers to people coming into a country. '''Emigration''' refers to people leaving a country to go to another.  Immigration records usually take the form of ship's '''passenger lists''' collected at the port of entry. See [[Maryland Emigration and Immigration#Online Databases and Resources|'''Online Databases and Resources'''.]]
+===What can I find in them?===
+====[[Maryland Emigration and Immigration #Online Databases and Resources|Information in Passenger Lists]]====
+*'''Before 1820''' - Passenger lists before 1820 included '''name, departure information and arrival details'''.  The names of wives and children were often not included.
+*'''1820-1891''' - Customs Passenger Lists between 1820 and 1891 asked for '''each immigrant’s name, their age, their sex, their occupation, and their country of origin''', but not the city or town of origin.
+*'''1891-1954''' - Information given on passenger lists from 1891 to 1954 included:
+**name, age, sex,
+**nationality, occupation, marital status,
+**last residence, final destination in the U.S.,
+**whether they had been to the U.S. before (and if so, when, where and how long),
+**if joining a relative, who this person was, where they lived, and their relationship,
+**whether able to read and write,
+**whether in possession of a train ticket to their final destination, who paid for the passage,
+**amount of money the immigrant had in their possession,
+**whether the passenger had ever been in prison, a poorhouse, or in an institution for the insane,
+**whether the passenger was a polygamist,
+**and immigrant's state of health.
+*'''1906--'''  - In 1906, the '''physical description and place of birth''' were included, and a year later, the '''name and address of the passenger’s closest living relative in the country of origin''' was included.
+====[[Maryland Emigration and Immigration#Passport Records Online|Information in Passports]]  ====
+Over the years, passports and passport applications contained different amounts of information about the passport applicant. The first passports that are available begin in 1795. These usually contained the individual's name, description of individual, and age. More information was required on later passport applications, such as:
+*Birthplace
+*Birth date
+*Naturalization&nbsp;information
+*Arrival information, if foreign born
+==In-country Migration==
+''This section will detail any relevant migration patterns or influences that pertained to this location, such as common migration routes in the location, or groups of people from one location who congregated in another location, etc.'' (for state pages of the United States, this section will only include migration patterns that were relevant to that particular state)

 Pre-statehood settlers of [[Rhode Island Genealogy|Rhode Island]] generally were English Protestants, but liberal policies attracted French Huguenots, Blacks, Jews, and other minorities. Heavy Irish immigration began about 1830 and continued through the rest of the nineteenth century. A great influx of French Canadians began after the Civil War and continued to the turn of the century. Rhode Islanders leaving the state often went to areas such as Vermont and Nova Scotia.
