Product Description
Product Description
Fully revised and up to the minute guide to four centuries of movement to, from and within Britain's shores. This practical and accessible book shows how to explore migration records - and ancestors featured in them - through the wealth of material at The National Archives and elsewhere. Migration Records charts new online releases, including a major immigration package of passenger lists, certificates of arrival and naturalization applications, and discusses how improved catalogue information has opened up passport applications for research. From refugees fleeing persecution to child migrants, naturalization and citizenship papers to transportation records, it is an invaluable guide to the story of migration that changed so many lives. Contents: Introduction; 1- Movements before 1800; 2- Arriving and departing; 3- The New World 1700-1900s; 4- Industrial expansion and rural decline; 5- Refugees and minorities; 6-Enforced migration; 7- Twentieth-century sources; 8- Naturlization and citizenship; Further reading; Index
