Marian Smith presented an overview of three historical eras of US immigration and naturalization records, illustrated with documents of Jewish immigrants.
Using a timeline tool (included in the handout), she demonstrated how plotting an immigrant’s life events can identify what records may exist for that particular immigrant and where these records can be found.
Marian Smith retired in 2018 after thirty years as an Historian for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), later US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). She now speaks to groups on US immigration and nationality records.
