What an American Passport Will Tell You
Passport applications are often a valuable source of genealogical information. Some immigrants applied for passports to return home to visit family or friends. These records usually give a place of birth or at least the destination (which is often the home town)
Did Your Ancestor Need a Passport?
Until 1941, American citizens were not required to have a passport for travel abroad. Exceptions to this general rule were:
*
Passports were required from August 19, 1861, to March 17, 1862, during the Civil War.
*
Passports were recommended, but not required, as of December 15, 1915, by Executive Order stating that all persons leaving the U.S. should have passports.
*
Passports were required from May 22, 1918 until the formal termination of World War I in 1921 by treaties.
*
Passports have been required since the passage of the act of June 21, 1941
Passports and passport applications can provide the following genealogy information:
* family, marital status
* birth place and date
* name of wife
* residence
* father's name and place of birth
* naturalization year
* name of ship, port and date of entry (after 1900)
* photograph of ancestor
