Speaker: Christine Cohen

In-Person AND Online Meeting: Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023 at 1:30 pm
For the virtual meeting, the Zoom Link will be sent the Thurs. before the meeting.
Christine will discuss: What do those letters, numbers, stamps, and pencil marks mean on Immigration Passenger Manifests? Does your ancestor have the letter “D” or “X” next to their name? Do you know what V/L, # 404, USB, Transit, CL, N.O.B, C/A, LPC, SI, NQIV, BSI, PV or C-XXXXX mean? We will learn if and when to contact the US National Archives or USCIS to get more genealogical information from these codes. And what insight we can learn about your ancestor’s immigration experience based on these notations.
CAGC is very fortunate to have Christine as a speaker!
