Other Databases
The following databases can be invaluable tools for furthering your court, land, and probate research:
- Birth, Marriage, and Death Records Collection
Just as court, probate, and land records are connected with society's most important moments, birth records, marriage records, and death records are connected with life's central events. The two sets of records often mirror each other, and both are prime sources for genealogical information. Also look for baptism, christening, and burial records in this collection, as well as the Social Security Death Index (SSDI).
- Immigration Records Collection
Naturalization records are often included in genealogy reference books within the chapters discussing court records. This collection is the most comprehensive set of immigration records available online. It includes passenger lists from every major port in North America. It also contains original ship manifests and naturalization records from across the country. Use this source to discover when and how your ancestors came to America, with whom they traveled, where they came from and were going, and where they arrived. Also learn personal details like height, weight, age, and skin color.
- U.S. Census Images and Indexes
Wherever your genealogy research takes you, you should be sure that it visits the records of the U.S. census. Censuses are the best resources for finding vital information about your ancestors in America. Once found, census records provide priceless details about your ancestors' lives such as the year and place of birth, year of immigration to the U.S., occupation, home ownership, military service, and names and relations of others living in the same household. U.S. census records that are available date from 1790 to 1930.
