EMIGRATION DOCUMENTS

A big part of that type of documents were recorded after 1850 (of course, some exceptions are preserved from the period before 1850). The best sources are the files of district political offices, police offices and city archives (special files on emigration to America, registers of issued passports, emigration and immigration, travels abroad). Some records can be found among documents that were kept by local offices or by county offices (immigration and emigration, passports, certificates of domicile).

An example:
