Historical
Research Tools "Millions of
Americans trace their family history to an
immigrant. Finding a record to reveal where that
immigrant came from, or when and where they first
stepped foot on American soil, is often a long and
frustrating task. Records of the US Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) may help in this
search, as they are the records of 20th century
immigration to the United States.
"These pages
contain information on a variety of early 20th
century immigration procedures and documents of
interest to family historians, and are meant to help
those researchers interpret INS records.
"Standard
immigration and naturalization records may be
searched at or through the National Archives or
other family history research facilities, and we
have provided links to National Archives pages
containing introductory material and basic
instructions for research...."

by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James
Madison between October 1787 and May 1788.
The essays were published anonymously, under
the pen name "Publius," in various
New York state newspapers of the time. The Federalist
Papers were written and published to
urge New Yorkers to ratify the proposed
United States Constitution, which was
drafted in Philadelphia in the summer of
1787. In lobbying for adoption of the
Constitution over the existing Articles of
Confederation, the essays explain particular
provisions of the Constitution in detail.
For this reason, and because Hamilton and
Madison were each members of the
Constitutional Convention, the Federalist
Papers are often used today to help
interpret the intentions of those drafting
the Constitution...." |
