===Border Crossing Records=== | |||
Birder crossing records usually list the name, age, birth date, and birthplace of the immigrant, as well as the date of their crossing, their intended destination, and the names of others who may have been traveling with them. Some records include pictures. These records come in two forms: a short form (index card) and a manifest. If you find your ancestor in a short form record, be sure to try to locate the longer manifest. | |||
'''The short forms usually contain the following information: ''' | |||
*Name | |||
*Age | |||
*Sex | |||
*Citizenship ("nationality") | |||
*Race Last place of residence | |||
*Destination | |||
*Port and date of admission | |||
*Status as immigrant or non immigrant. | |||
The number annotated to the right of the person's name or gender is generally the "real" manifest number that is used, along with the date of arrival, to locate the person's statistical manifest--which contains additional information--in a separate series of card manifests. Sometimes, information was simply typewritten onto a blank card instead of a form. | |||
'''The manifest usually contains the following information: ''' | |||
*Name | |||
*Age | |||
*Marital status | |||
*Place of birth | |||
*Physical description | |||
*Occupation | |||
*Ability to read and write and in what language | |||
