Passports Can Offer Proof of Identification

Legg inn av illyad » 30 okt 2004 15:34:22

In the early years of America, individuals carried passports when
traveling from state to state or into Indian territory. Records of such
early passports may be useful to a genealogist if his or her ancestors
settled in the area that eventually became Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Some of these documents have been published. Mary Givens
Bryan transcribed the passports issued by the governors of Georgia
between 1785 and 1820, for example, which were printed in two special
publications of the National Genealogical Society.

To add to Illya's note, if you wish to see names of those
applying for passports USA-wide, they can be found at
http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/passports.shtml

So far the free passport records online are:

Register of Passports from 14 November 1834 to 1843

Index to Special Passports 1829-1887

Index to Special Passports 1887-1894

Register of Passport Applications 1809-1817

The following projects will be started whenever
transcribers are found to work on them:

Index to Special Passports 1872-1882 [needs a transcriber]
Index to Passports 1830-1831 [needs a transcriber]
Index to Passports 1850-1852 [needs a transcriber]
