Vermont Cultural Groups

Records and histories of minorities and ethnic groups may provide clues to immigrant origins, migration information and previous residences. See the “Minorities” section of the United States Research Outline (30972) for further sources on ethnic, racial and religious groups.

You can find information on minority groups in most of the same records as other groups. Start your research in the same resources you would search for non-minority groups. The records listed in this section provide information about specific groups in Vermont.
