Indiana offers several important immigration records that are essential for genealogical research. Key sources include passenger lists, naturalization records, and land records. Passenger lists, especially from the 19th and early 20th centuries, document arrivals at major ports like New York, with many immigrants later settling in Indiana. Naturalization records, available through county courts and the Indiana State Archives, provide vital details such as names, birthplaces, and family connections. Land records are also significant, as many immigrants purchased land in Indiana, and these documents often include information about their origins and settlement patterns. Together, these records offer a comprehensive view of immigrant ancestors' journeys and their role in Indiana’s growth.
