Tracing your family and ancestry through history will take you to places near and far. Locating information for your family in those places can be a challenge, especially when starting to research outside the United States for information. This guide will provide you with places to start your international ancestry search. These resources include (when possible) websites for international: vital records, census data, immigration & naturalization, passenger lists, newspapers, and genealogical groups that can be contacted and may help with your research. As always when researching your family history, those records may not be digitally available either because they are not digitized and only available in hardcopy, or not available for a variety of reasons.
