Hello
I am trying to find immigration records for 1923. I admit to having a difficult time navigating this site and am wondering if there is a tutorial on how to find more than just voter records.
I am looking for my relatives who arrived here from Kiev in 1923. Father is Israel (Suni) Regolant/Regulant, wife Sara and six children – Ziv, Zilla, Batya, Pinchas, Schmuel and Sarah. Sarah arrived first around 1921 or 1922. My family was a part of Israel’s history since their arrival.
Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.
