I found my Irish Grandfather’s picture at age 32. in 1920!!! Aside from seeing his picture at that age (we only have pics of him from age 46 on), the most exciting bit of new was that he was going to Ireland to see his mother. We werent sure when she died but now we know that she lived at least untiil then! It will help me narrow my searches for her deat record in Ireland! Thank you so much for adding this database!!!!

In one passport application I found a picture of a friend’s mother holding a baby. This was my friend’s only sister who died on that trip–a year long contract as educational adviser to Nicaragua. In another Ancestry record I found the ship list as they were traveling home, bringing the body of the young sister to be buried in the U.S. These were older parents, grieving and thinking they had lost their only child, their only hope of having children. However, as they stopped in the Panama Canal, the mother discovered she was pregnant again. That’s my 85+ year old friend! Ancestry’s records tied it all together, and, no, I don’t work for Ancestry.

It’s GREAT. I went through the various genealogies I’ve done, and in one I found a friends’ g-grandfather’s application. The cool thing about it is that he was a naturalized citizen, and the application details when he arrived here PLUS has his Italian name. When I went back to Ancestry’s records with the original name, I immediately picked up several more generations through the Italian records. My friend can now travel to Italy and know exactly where to go to find her ancestral homes!
THANK you, Ancestry.

I am anxious to see the passports on ancestry. I was looking for my g g grandparents coming to the U. S. in 1840’s and hoping I can find them. Found them in the census, but not in the immigration lists. Hope it will be soon. I need passports coming from England to Pennsylvania if possible.

My husbands grandparents came here from Ireland but took a trip back in the 1920’s and I found their Passports at NARA. They had become citizens and needed US passports to prove it when they returned. Good stuff, and I’m looking forward to searching for other family members who may have done the same. Thanks for getting this online.

This is going to be wonderful, now I will be able to connect the immigration information that I have found on Ancestry.com.
I truly enjoy this site, and search on a daily basis. I am addicted to finding my family genealogy, and has actually taken the place of watching TV. Ancestry has made this possible for me, to find my family, and share it with all my relatives and the world. Then to pass it on to my children and grandchildren. I only wish you would add more files like 1940 census and change the Italian site to read in English also.
