Emigrant Letters

Letters written by emigrants are a useful source of information for genealogists. If you can trace your family history back to Ireland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Sweden or Poland you might find some help here.

EMILE is a project about the importance of emigrant letters as a historical source. Their website contains lots of interesting information, including an excellent article about why these letters are such an important and useful resource.
