Brigham Young University's '''[http://familyhistory.byu.edu/ Center for Family History and Genealogy]''' is working on a project called Immigrant Ancestors Project (IAP), their website is: '''http://immigrants.byu.edu''' The site focuses on identifying emigration records from European countries of people that emigrated to the Americas (including the Caribbean). Under the supervision of professors and other researchers, students travel to Europe to identify emigration records. Contracts/agreements are made with the archives and the records are digitized. After the records are acquired students extract the important genealogical information and it is entered into a searchable database (free of course). Users of the site can then write to the archive where the record was acquired and ask for a copy of the original record. | Brigham Young University's '''[http://familyhistory.byu.edu/ Center for Family History and Genealogy]''' is working on a project called Immigrant Ancestors Project (IAP), their website is: '''http://immigrants.byu.edu''' The site focuses on identifying emigration records from European countries of people that emigrated to the Americas (including the Caribbean).
