The Making of a Mosaic: European Migrant Journeys during the Age of Steam: Part 3: "Internal Migration within the United States"

The Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center and the Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society are excited to welcome Dr. Nicholas J. Evans, a Senior Lecturer in diaspora history at the University of Hull, for a series of free virtual programs on the first three Tuesdays in February, beginning at 2:30 p.m. “The Making of a Mosaic: European Migrant Journeys During the Age of Steam” will be presented in three parts. These lectures are in conjunction with the Genealogy Center’s Tuesday afternoon virtual programs.

This third session of Making of a Mosaic, "Internal Migration within the United States" will explore how migrant records enable one to piece together the numerous journeys that complete the migrant’s settlement in their new homes.
