Introduction to immigration records

Matt Norman talks to Roger Kershaw about records relating to
people that came to England and Wales from other countries to
live and work. What records were created when people arrived
here? How did people become British citizens? What can you see
online? Find out the answers from Roger in this short podcast.


You can also use the research guides on our website to find out
about immigration and immigrants, passengers, refugees,
naturalisation, registration and British citizenship.
