Template:WA Migration Intro

Most residents came to Washington from other states or crossed the border from Canada. (See Seattle Passenger Lists for those who came from other countries.) Although few other 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
