After the turn of the century, immigration to New Jersey was predominantly from central and southeastern Europe, particularly Italy. New Jersey also attracted large numbers of Poles, Russian Jews, Greeks, Czechs (Bohemians), Finns, Armenians, Hungarians, Latvians, and Lithuanians. Beginning in the 1950s, Cubans and Puerto Ricans have come to the large cities. Hispanics have comprised New Jersey's largest immigrant group since World War II. | After the turn of the century, immigration to New Jersey was predominantly from central and southeastern Europe, particularly Italy.

'''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 [[New Jersey Emigration and Immigration#Online Resources|'''Online Resources'''.]] | |||

**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), | |||

*Birthplace | |||
*Birth date | |||
