20th-century immigrants to the west arrived by ship through Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii, and overland through Canada and Mexico. Vast numbers of these immigrants were Asian. This lecture will examine the ports of entry, the records generated, and the laws which impacted those immigrants.

I learnt a lot
I learnt a lot about immigration Thank-you
I usually find at least some value in listening to speakers who aren’t addressing my areas of research. She spoke about Asians coming in through the West Coast, and yet gave me some ideas to follow about the experience of my Europeans who came in through Baltimore, as well as my Mexican in-laws in Kansas in the 1940s. Additionally, it’s useful to see that American hasn’t been the welcoming beacon it pretends to be for most of its history. Very interesting and well presented. Thank you.

Interesting, but not relevant to my research.
Interesting, great presentation
It was excellent. I learned many things I didn’t know. It will definitely help me with my genealogical research. Thank you
Learned so much from this webinar. Thanks!
Linda is a great speaker. She shared an amazing amount of history in a clear delivery style. I hope you bring her back for more presentations in the future.
Lots of good details.
Lots of information I previously knew nothing about! Great!
Much needed topic on western U.S. genealogy and Asian American genealogy!
My people have been in the US since the 1600s, so immigration/naturalization laws have not been applicable to my research; however, I wanted to watch this to enhance my knowledge. I think Linda did a wonderful job of covering so much information in one hour. Those needing to know this will have a wealth of information to work with.
Not what I expected -BUT– what I sure did not know!!! Very interesting and very very helpful to those with Chinese or Asian ancestors!!
Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge! 😉
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION!!!
