Passport Records! I know they weren’t released this week, but they’re an important new source of information for us researchers. I haven’t been able to explore them yet, but from the descriptions I’ve seen they are going to be very valuable. Some will even include pictures! My initial thought is that they’ll be somewhat the equivalent of naturalization records for people who were already citizens. I’m excited to see what I can uncover! I’m not assuming that I’ll find too much, but if I can find just one record I’d be thrilled!
