Mystery of Old Documents
by Martin Sasson and Ethan Rofe

Old papers and documents can be anything from immigration cards and naturalization records to marriage licences and letters. These artifacts remind us of the generations that came before us. They also represent important events that happened in our families’ history .

This gallery includes naturalization papers, immigration papers, passports, birth certificates, a driver’s license, and much more. Ariael and Albert brought in passports, Martin and Eli brought in Immigration documents, Ethan brought in a Birth Certificate, Isaac and Daniel brought in Naturalization papers. Henry brought in a Orange card, Lynda L. brought in letters written about a Torah, and Lori S. brought in a Driver’s license. We learned so much about the owners of these artifacts by reading them very carefully. From these documents we learned about our ancestors' appearances and their ages when they came to the U.S. and when they became citizens.
