   Begun in 1935 by the Social Security Act signed into law by FDR, more than thirty million Americans were registered for the economic security sanctions by 1937. From 1937 to 1940, payments were made in one-lump sums amounts with the first amount being seventeen cents. Following amendments in 1939, the payments turned into monthly benefits and increased. Following further amendments in 1950, cost-of-living increases were awarded to those who were receiving benefits. From 1950 to the present, benefits have increased yearly in response to inflation concerning the costs of living.

   What can you find in the census?Census returns can help you determine who your ancestors were, and can also tell you:- Where your ancestors were living- Who they were living with- What their occupations were- If they had any servants- Who their neighbours were- If they had any brothers and sisters- What their ages were at the time of the census- If they had any disabilities.As well as giving you the above information, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of your ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.The fields which have been transcribed for the census are:- First name- Middle name- Last name- Sex- Birth place- Age- Place of residence- County- Relationship to head of householdWhy this collection is so valuableCensus records are valuable since they can tell you where a person lived at a certain place and time. Censuses were conducted by the federal government and will offer a variety of information, depending on year. Census records can answer questions like where your ancestors were living at the time the census was taken, who they were living with, what their occupations were, who their neighbors were, if they had any brothers and sisters, what their ages were at the time of the census and if they had any disabilities.Searching the censusThe golden rule of family history is to check the original historical record, or 'primary source', wherever possible. We have provided clear images of the original census enumeration books for you to view once you've found the right family in the indexes. When using census returns you should first search the transcriptions to help locate your ancestor in the census, and then view the original images to validate your findings. It will also help you see the household in the context of surrounding households. This is particularly important as transcribing an entire census is a huge and difficult task, and whilst we have used the expertise of our transcribers and the experience of key representatives from the genealogy community to help us translate the records, it is inevitable that there will be some errors.Next stepsWith the information you gain from these census records, you will have the information you need to search for vital records in the locality where you found your ancestor. Also, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of our ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.

10. United States Passport Applications, 1795-1925

    George H Russell<br>Gender: Male<br>Birth: Mar 12 1891 - England<br>Application place: 1919 - Massachusetts, United States<br>This passport application may include more pages. Use the image navigation below to view them.<br>Source: on Number12335107678

    It is important for genealogists to note that prior to 1952 US passports were generally not required for international travel. There were only two time periods during the span of this collection when passports were required for traveling internationally: during the Civil War and World War I. Many individuals who traveled internationally will not appear on any passport index simply because passports were not required. However, passports were of particular benefit to naturalized US citizens traveling abroad as the passport reduced the likelihood that their birth country would try to detain them or prevent their return to the United States.

    
    

    In addition to this passport collection, it may be beneficial to search passenger manifests. While an individual may not have needed a passport to travel internationally, they will be listed on a US citizen manifest. However, the information found on US citizen manifests is sparse compared to the information found on later passport applications.

    
    

    It was also rare for a single passport to cover multiple trips abroad. Many wealthy US citizens appear multiple times within this collection because they applied for a new passport with every voyage.

15. Boston, Massachusetts Passenger Lists, 1891-1943

    George Henry Russell<br>Gender: Male<br>Marital status: Married<br>Birth: Circa 1891<br>Arrival: Mar 21 1927 - Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States<br>Age: 36<br>Ship: Celtic<br>Source information: "Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, Massachusetts, 1891-1943" (National Archives Microfilm Publication T843, roll 321, line number 8, record id 005103909_00068_7); Digital Folder Number 005103909, Image Number 00068.<br>Departure: Liverpool

    Boston became a popular destination for European immigrants, particularly Irish immigrants, during the Irish Potato Famine in the mid-19th Century. The Cunard Line began offering service to Boston for Irish immigrants because their travel was often subsidized by the British government. However, even with subsidization many immigrants arrived in Boston destitute and unable to travel farther requiring them to find immediate work in Boston.

    
    

    Later in the 19th Century the Irish were joined by immigrants from Eastern and Mediterranean Europe. Russian Jews, finding themselves blamed for the assassination of Alexander II, fled the frequent and violent pogroms of Imperial Russia and settled in Boston. A newly unified Italy, suffering from an ineffective and unstable government as well as widespread poverty, left many Italians searching for better opportunities. Irish, Jewish, and Italian immigrants formed thriving communities in Boston.

    
    

    Boston was a prosperous economic hub and offered many opportunities for new immigrants. Work seemed to always be available for laborers building roads, bridges, the subway, and electric street cars. In addition to public works projects, laborers were needed on the docks, railroads, and in private factories where immigrants made items ranging from clothes and textiles to chemicals and rubber goods. However, employment for immigrants was not without challenges. As automation progressed, many skilled factory jobs were replaced by mechanization, resulting in long and dangerous shifts at significantly lower wages. Many immigrants turned to entrepreneurship, opening groceries, restaurants, and other retail to avoid the dangers of factory life and achieve upward socioeconomic mobility.

    
    

    Boston's subway system, the first in the nation, meant that communities near the city could flourish. This contributed to the development of what some contemporary sociologists referred to as Zones of Emergence. New immigrants and skilled workers aspiring to reach the middle-class lived together in these zones between the inner city and wealthier suburbs. Zones of Emergence were described as neighborhoods where "the air is brighter, cleaner, and more vibrant; sunshine falls in floods rather than in narrow shafts..." and provided an improved standard of living for many immigrants.

    
    

    The population of Boston more than doubled between 1880 and 1920. Immigration to Boston peaked in the 1910s, prior to World War I, and at that time immigrants accounted for approximately 40% of Boston's population. Despite the large number of immigrants arriving in Boston, the East Boston Immigration Station did not open until 1920. Prior to this station, also known as "Boston's Ellis Island", most immigrants were simply processed on the docks when they arrived. Shortly after "Boston's Ellis Island" opened, the Immigration Act of 1924 placed significant restrictions on immigration that effectively brought an end to Boston's "Golden Era" of immigration.

    What is in the 1911 census?In common with the censuses that preceded it, it recorded the following information:- Where an individual lived- Their age at the time of the census- Who (what relatives) they were living with- Their place of birth- Occupation- Details of any guests on the night of the census- Details of any servants they hadAlso, depending on an individual's circumstances, additional information could include:- Whether they were an employee or employer- Precise details of the industry or service they worked in- Details of nationality- Duration of their current marriage- Number of children born to that marriage- Number of children still living, and the number who had died- Details of any illnesses or conditions each family member had, and the date these beganFertility in marriage and occupational dataIn response to government concerns the 1911 census also asked additional, more specific questions to each household, about fertility in marriage and occupational data.The 1911 census and the suffragettesFrustrated with the government's refusal to grant women the vote, a large number of women boycotted the 1911 census by refusing to be counted. There were two forms of protest. In the first, the women (or their husbands) refused to fill in the form, often recording their protest on the household schedule. In the second, women evaded the census by staying away from their home for the whole night, and so did not lodge their protest on the household schedule. In both cases, any details relating to individual women in the households will be missing from the census. For the family historian, a refusal to fill in the form (accompanied by a protest statement) at least registers the presence of a woman, or women, in the household. But the women who evaded the count by leaving their home for the night are entirely untraceable via the census. The exact number of women who boycotted the census is not known, though some people have estimated that it may be as many as several thousand.DC Thomson Family History service provided to MyHeritage members by agreement with The National Archives, London.
