==Background== | ==Background== | ||
*Colonial settlers of [[Georgia Genealogy (state)|'''Georgia''']] generally came from the Carolinas, from [[Virginia, United States Genealogy|'''Virginia''']], or directly from [[England Genealogy|'''England''']] and [[Scotland Genealogy|'''Scotland''']]. | |||
*The first large group of immigrants came from the British Isles to the Savannah area with James Oglethorpe in 1733. | |||
*Though Georgia was designed to be a penal colony, most English convicts were transported to [[Virginia, United States Genealogy|Virginia]] and [[Maryland, United States Genealogy|Maryland]], rather than Georgia.<ref>Peter Wilson Coldham, ''British Emigrants in Bondage;'' E. Roger Ekirch, ''Bound for America.''</ref> | |||
*The total non-native population of Georgia in 1752 has been estimated at 5,000 with small groups of Protestants from [[France Genealogy|'''France''']], [[Switzerland Genealogy|'''Switzerland''']], and what is now [[Germany Genealogy|'''Germany''']]. | |||
*Religious groups included '''Moravians'''. The most important of these groups were the 1,500 Salzburgers who had settled at Ebenezer in present-day [[Effingham County, Georgia Genealogy|Effingham County]] beginning in 1734. | |||
*An important group of 350 '''Puritans from''' [[South Carolina, United States Genealogy|'''South Carolina''']], accompanied by 1,500 blacks, arrived in Georgia beginning in 1752. They first settled in the Midway District. Their ancestors had previously settled the towns of Dorchester in both [[Massachusetts|Massachusetts]] and South Carolina. In 1758 these Puritans established the seacoast town of Sunbury. | |||
*Between 1802 and 1820 thousands of Americans moved to Georgia seeking free or inexpensive land. | |||
==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 [[Georgia Emigration and Immigration#Online Resources|'''Online Resources'''.]] | |||
===What can I find in them?=== | |||
====[[Georgia Emigration and Immigration #Online 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. | |||
====[[Georgia 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 information | |||
*Arrival information, if foreign born | |||
