I Found Who I was Looking for, What Now?

• Learn foreign and “Americanized” names
• Find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or airplane manifests
• Find federal immigration records

I Can't Find Who I'm Looking for, What Now?

• Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
