What Details Can We Find ?

of information that are passed on by word of mouth
• Search through records in archives (and at home)– Immigration & Naturalization
– Birth, Death, Marriage
– Census Documents

The Project
• Now that you have the basic family tree, it is time to build a detailed version
• You will be provided with templates showing what kind of information you will try to find
• We will use some time in class to work together to find information, but you will do most research on your own
![Page 18: Discovering Our Family’s Immigrant History Building a Detailed Family Tree Kurt Schmel, Josh Polensky, Mike Hogan, and Meliza Reynoso.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082610/56649dc55503460f94ab8e66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Project
• In upcoming classes, we will spend some time discussing the sources outside of your family that you can use to find material
