Census records, and in particular the 1930 census, is one of the most easily used tools for beginners and seasoned genealogists alike. Ancestry.com is the only place where all census years are easily searchable.



If you find an ancestor on a ship on ISTG and would like to link to your email address or home page, please submit a short paragraph about the passenger, where settled, children, etc., with the name of the ship and date of arrival, and send to the transcriber at the bottom of the manifest or to the ISTG Production Coordinator.
