 To search emigration records effectively, you should know the approximate date of emigration, the name of the ship, the type of or reason for emigration, or the emigrant’s previous residence in England. If you know the ship’s name, Lloyd’s Register of British and Foreign Shipping may provide additional details on the ship itself, including ports of embarkation and arrival.
-=== Finding the Emigrant’s Place of Origin  ===
-Once you have traced your family back to an English emigrant, you must determine the parish where he or she lived. If the individual immigrated after 1 July 1837, you may find the place of origin by using the general indexes to births, marriages, and deaths. (See the "[[England Civil Registration|Civil Registration]]".) There is no complete nationwide index to pre-1837 birth, marriage, or death records. The following web sites hold the largest amount of pre-1837 data''':'''&nbsp;[http://familysearch.org FamilySearch.org]'s with about 150 million entries, [http://www.findmypast.com/welcome.jsp?_zga_s=1 findmypast], with at least 80 million, in its Church records databases, [http://freereg.org.uk FreeReg], with about 12 million, and new.FamilySearch has old IGI (International Genealogical Index) data for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or otherwise&nbsp;available to view with asistance at FHCs (Family History Centres worldwide--see FamilySearch.org) for the general public.&nbsp;&nbsp;(See [[England Genealogy|England Genealogy]]), (see the "Indexes to Marriages" in [[England Church Records|England Church Records]]) are partial national indexes that you can try before searching emigration records.
-There are several sources that may reveal where your ancestor came from. You may learn your ancestor’s place of origin by talking to older family members. Other relatives may have documents naming the parish, city, or county, such as:
-*[[Image:Sardinian ALLAN LINE c1890.jpg|thumb|right|313x213px]]Birth, marriage, or death certificates
-*Obituaries
-*Journals
-*Photographs
-*Letters
-*Family Bibles
-*Church certificates/records
-*Naturalization applications and petitions
-*Passenger lists
-*Newspaper announcements or articles
-*Passports
-*Family heirlooms
-Some of these documents may also be found in libraries.
-Sometimes it is possible to guess where an immigrant originated through [[Surname Distribution Maps|surname distribution maps]].
