Searching for Joseph Nevronis

daiva Jan 22, 2019 6:07 AM

Hi,

My name is Daiva Judges. I am looking for a person called Joseph Nevronis. He is Lithuanian. I have his picture taken for the Department of Labor, probably around 1920s. HIs name and signature is on the photo. How can I find how he arrived to the USA? I tried Ellis Island Passenger list database. It didn't give any records. All advice will be very much appreciated. I do not live in the USA, so many sites are not available to me. How is it possible to find the person's immigration records in this case, when you don't know the exact date only the name and the surname?

Thanks.

Daiva

Dear Davia Judges,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
There are a number of resources available for researching immigration records. Here is information about some of the resources available through the National Archives: https://www.archives.gov/research/immigration. Please also check our blog post -- Immigration and Naturalization Records: Where are they?

Since you have a Department of Labor photograph from 1920, it may also be useful to look at the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Genealogy Program (www.uscis.gov/genealogy) as they maintain a number of file types that were utilized post-1906 to track the immigration and inspection of individuals entering the US.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
