Template:WA Migration Intro

Most residents came to Washington from other states or from Canada. (See SeattlePassenger Lists for those from other countries.) Although few actual migration records exist, try:
 * • Censuses (use birthdates and places of children as clues)
 * • Land (1st deed may reveal previous residence)
 * • Death-related records of children may give town or county of birth
 * • Records of relatives and neighbors
