== Finding the Country and City of Origin ==


Records that generally provide the country of origin include the U.S. censuses beginning in 1850, Canadian censuses, biographies, death records, obituaries, naturalization declarations or petitions, pre-1883 passenger lists, and military records. These records do not usually list the exact town that the ancestor came from.

Line 18: Line 20:
Before you can effectively search the records of another country, you need to know the name of the city or town your immigrant ancestor came from. Clues about an ancestors' town of origin are found in various sources, including diaries and other records in your family's possession. You may find the town of origin in family and local histories, church records, obituaries, marriage records, death records, tombstones, passports (particularly since the 1860s), passenger lists (particularly those after 1883), and applications for naturalization.

=== Immigrant Index (''Einwandererkartei'')===
 
The ''Einwanderungszentralstelle'' (Immigration Control Center) kept a record of German immigrants returning from Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and France. This index contains about 2.9 million cards. ''Einwanderung'' (immigration) or emigration cards were filled out for every immigrant age 15 and above and ''Gesundheit'' (health) cards were filled out for every immigrant over age 6. The cards list name, place and date of birth, religion, marital status, education, profession, professional training, citizenship, and all relatives in the same group of immigrants. The cards are arranged in alphabetical order based on name pronunciation rather than spelling. These cards serve as an index to pedigrees (''Stammblätter'') also kept by the Immigration Control Center.
