Re: 1880 Department of State Document

3 people found this helpfulDear Mary,
Thank you for your post. The document issued in 1880 is most likely the nineteenth century version of a passport - which would provide documentation and give your ancestor access to American Consulates and Embassies as he or she traveled.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
