The Ancestry (immigration documents) Project: You will mine the Ancestry.com database, available on campus at http://ancestrylibrary.proquest.com, for information about an immigrant or immigrant family and write a report on what you find and how it compares to what you have learned from the textbook. The report should be roughly 2,000 words and should include full citations of the records you use from the databases (census, passenger list, death index, etc.), as well as copies of the documents.
A list of your documents, properly formatted, is due in class on March 14th, along with copies of the documents. The complete report is due on Monday, March 21st. Students will share their research findings over the course of the week.
