With the exception of Native American ancestry, all U.S. researchers will eventually be faced with an immigrant ancestor. Tracing those immigrants to their origins can be one of the most difficult tasks faced by researchers. Kory L. Meyerink, MLS, AG, FUGA, will guide researchers in discovering the methodologies and records necessary to trace ancestors to their origins, from the 1600s to the 1900s.
