Re: I need copies of pre-1950 passports

All the stamps and locations imprinted on the passport were made in different countries. Those stamps are only located on the original passport which would have be in the possession of your parents. When you apply for a new passport the State Department returns you old passport with the new one for you to keep. Here is a link to the application for records at the State Department.

Re: I need copies of pre-1950 passports
Donna Schaffer Feb 6, 2019 10:54 AM (in response to S J)Dear Steve,
Thank you very much for your excellent response. I was saddened to hear there is not a copy of the various places they visited but I appreciated your link to the "How to Make a Request for Personal Records" from the US Department of State. I had not considered using the "Freedom of Information Act" to access such files.
Thank you Again.
Donna
