Texas Immigration Records Index

In Texas, various immigration records are valuable resources for genealogical research, offering insights into the lives of ancestors who immigrated to the state. Key records include passenger lists, border crossing records, naturalization documents, and census data. Passenger lists, available for those arriving at major Texas ports, provide very important data items such as names, ages, and ports of departure. Border crossing records, particularly those from the U.S.-Mexico border, are essential for tracing families who crossed into Texas from Mexico and other regions. Naturalization records document the process of becoming a U.S. citizen, while census data can reveal immigration status and residency details. These records help genealogists track family movements, uncover historical connections, and build more comprehensive family trees.
