    3. A reminder was sent out by Marie V. Melchiori via BKLYN Rootsweb (Brooklyn Rootsweb) and thought this would be good to pass on to APG and Transistional list for those that may not have seen this. I am unable to view the webinar and it won't be recorded so I hope that someone who does will share thoughts or notes. *Records Found” Case Studies* A bi-monthly “teaching with documents” webinar presenting selected documents from among those processed by the USCIS Genealogy Program or found among agency records at the National Archives or online. Professional genealogists, genealogical writers and educators. *Date/Time* *Friday, November 21, 2014 1:00 PM (Eastern) * Join this LIVE web meeting/webinar with US Citizenship and Immigration Service’s Marian Smith to learn how to identify immigrants whose 1906-1921 arrival records were filed separately from traditional passenger manifest records. *Back-Dated Arrival Records: Nunc Pro Tunc (“Now for Then”) Examinations at Ellis Island, 1911-1921* After 1911, many immigrants living in the New York City area found they could not naturalize and become US citizens because there was no record of their lawful admission to the United States. Almost all of these immigrants arrived after ca. 1905 and before 1921. Most arrived as young men, and as seamen, at a variety of US ports of entry. This presentation will focus on official arrival records created for those immigrants when they later visited Ellis Island for belated examination under US immigration law. Those records supported the immigrants' eventual naturalization petitions claiming arrival on ships where their names cannot be found on the passenger manifest. *The presentation is not recorded*.
