====Minnesota Historical Society====
Emigration records list the names of people leaving an area, and immigration records list those coming into an area. [[United States Emigration and Immigration]] lists several important sources for finding information about immigrants. These nationwide sources include many references to people who settled in Minnesota. [[Tracing Immigrant Origins]] article introduces the principles, search strategies, and additional record types you can use to identify an immigrant ancestor’s original hometown.
 
Pre-statehood residents of Minnesota were primarily American Indians and French and British immigrants. After 1858 settlers in Minnesota generally came from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and New York. After 1860 thousands of immigrants came from Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Canada, and Denmark.
 
Minnesota has no ports of entry. Most immigrants to Minnesota arrived at a major eastern port such as New York (New York), Boston (Massachusetts), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), or Quebec (Canada). Some Minnesota immigrants prior to 1855 entered through the port of New Orleans. The Family History Library has records for the ports of New York (New York), Boston (Massachusetts), and New Orleans (Louisiana) beginning about 1820. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania records start in 1800. See the United States Emigration and Immigration article for details. Quebec, Canada port records begin in 1865. Settlers generally followed the Great Lakes and the railroads to Illinois and Wisconsin, or they traveled up the Mississippi River. Steamboats and vessels traveling the lakes and rivers were not required to keep passenger lists.
 
Lists of persons coming from Canada to the United States were not recorded until 1895. Persons who crossed the border after that year might be listed in Soundex Index to Canadian Border Entries Through the St. Albans, Vermont District, 1895–1924, and other sources mentioned in the "[[Canada Emigration and Immigration|Canada Emigration and Immigration]]" article. These and other border entry indexes and lists are also described in the [[FamilySearch Catalog Place Search|Place Search]] of the FamilySearch Catalog under:
 
CANADA – EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
 
UNITED STATES – EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
 
The Minnesota Historical Society has Alien Registration Records made in February 1918, listing most non-U.S. citizens in Minnesota. The indexes and records are on microfilm but are not at the Family History Library. The registration form gives name, place of birth (sometimes the town), port of entry, date of arrival, names of children, and occupation. Contact the Minnesota Historical Society Library at the address listed in the "[[Minnesota Archives and Libraries|Archives and Libraries]]" article for further information.
