Sorenson Library Meeting Room
6934 Broadway Ave, Whittier CA 90606

Does your ancestor have the letter "D" or "X" next to their name on their passenger manifest ? Do you know what V/L, # 404, USB, Transit, CL, N.O.B, C/A, LPC, SI, NQIV, BSI, PV or C-232423 mean? We will learn when to contact the US National Archives or USCIS to get more details based on these codes. And what insight we can learn about your ancestor's immigration experience based on these notations.
The virtual doors will open between noon and 12:30 p.m. and those of you who join online can chat with one another on Zoom before the meeting begins at 1:00 p.m.
