Program
"Our European Immigrant Ancestors' Voyage To America "
Learn about your ancestors’ voyage to America, and how those journeys changed from the 18th century through the 20th century. How did our ancestors prepare for the journey? What immigration restrictions and quota laws did they face? How were ports of departure and arrival chosen? What was the ticket cost? How long would the journey take, and what were the expected ship accommodations?
Class
Beginning at 3:15 pm.
The Break-Out Groups will be having discussions on "Road Blocks" where participants will share current road blocks, or one they have overcome. The "When and Where" groups will talk about specific places or times they are researching, and then break into smaller groups.
