U.S. Records Collection

When it comes to family history research, broadening your resources can greatly enhance your efforts.

The U.S. Records Collection is one of Ancestry.com's more unique offerings in that it provides a diverse compilation of information ranging from military service to early American history.

Not only does this collection make for a valuable supplemental resource, it represents a fascinating cross-section of everything Ancestry.com can offer both beginning and high-level genealogists.

U.S. Census Collection

Ancestry.com offers the Web's most complete collection of U.S.
Census records. To put such a wealth of family information at your
fingertips, Ancestry scanned and entered names from more than 12
million original images, including the recently released 1930 census.

Search all of our census records at once to find specific information
about your ancestors - in seconds.

U.S. Immigration Collection

Gain valuable insights into the lives and experiences of your earliest American ancestors. Ancestry.com's newest collection houses more than 10 million names taken from ship's passenger lists, naturalization records and a variety of accompanying historical documents.

Many of our records, such as the newly indexed Nineteenth Century New York Passenger Lists, have never before been published on the Internet. Now, for the first time online, you can pinpoint when and where your ancestors first arrived in America.

Historical Newspapers

For the past year, Ancestry.com has been collecting thousands of
pages per week and posting them online. With more than 3 million
pages, this collection is now the largest historical newspaper database
on the Internet.

Newspapers are also fully searchable, meaning you can locate
particular points of interest without having to scan through pages of
microfilm.

And because each page is a single digital image, individual articles can
be printed from your computer and preserved in your family scrapbook.
