| ===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.

| You may be able to find it by talking to older family members or by searching documents, such as:
| |
| <br>
| |
| *Birth, marriage, and death certificates.

| *Journals.
| |
