Virgin Island Exodus

Description

This is a special U.S. Virgin Islands Centennial Commemorative Reprint for 2017. Soon after the transfer of the Danish West Indies and U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark to the United States, the question of citizenship was raised. A system was identified that allowed people wishing to travel to apply for “U.S. Citizen Identification Cards,” though the people had not yet been granted the status of citizen. Through these travel passes, the reader can learn about and research people who lived on the islands and moved to the U.S. mainland at the time. Includes name, age, where they were from, where they were going, occupation, and other details. This is a wonderful resource for genealogists and those conducting research on people and the history of the USVI. 70 Pages.
