Using Census Records to Trace Your Family's Immigration and Origins

"Census records are one of the most powerful tools in family history research — but most researchers only scratch the surface. In this webinar, we'll show you how to use US census records to trace your immigrant ancestors, identify where they came from, and connect them to records in their home country.

You'll learn how to read birthplace and language columns to narrow down an ancestor's region of origin, use neighborhood clusters to identify the village they left behind, and cross-reference naturalization records to build a complete immigration timeline. Whether you're stuck on a brick wall or just getting started, you'll leave with a clear methodology for turning census data into your next research breakthrough."
