Florida Immigration Records Index

In Florida, several immigration records are invaluable for genealogists researching family history. Key sources include passenger lists, naturalization records, and state census data. Florida’s ports, especially in Miami, Tampa, and Key West, were major entry points for immigrants, and passenger lists from these locations often contain details like names, ages, occupations, and places of origin. Naturalization records, filed at county courts, document the process of becoming a U.S. citizen and can reveal important information such as birth dates, nationalities, and family connections. Additionally, Florida’s state census records, taken at various intervals, can help identify family members and their migration patterns within the state. These immigration-related documents are crucial tools for genealogists tracing ancestors who settled in Florida, offering vital details for building a richer family history.
