Passport Applications

Were your ancestors immigrants or did they travel outside the United States?  If so, you may be able to locate them in the U.S. Passport Applications.  These are fantastic records that provide a great deal of information.  They usually provide a date and place of birth, place of residence, and often include a photo of the applicant.  They also can show their destination, purpose of the trip, and traveling companions.  These records help to discover more about the life of your ancestor, going beyond just the basic name and date of birth.  These records are available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah from 1795 to 1925 with the best records being those in the 1900's.
