Emigration records

This talk explains the reasons behind the emigration of some 16
million people since the 17th century.  It discusses the most
popular destinations for emigrants as well as sources, such as
outgoing passenger lists, passport records, and a host of
emigration schemes supported and fostered by the Government. It
also features the various child migration schemes that have been
responsible in migrating some 150,000 children from the UK between
1618 and 1967. Particular reference is made to the growing
number of online sources relevant to this subject.
