Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.
\n\nThis project defines \"immigrant\" broadly. Our collection contains digital stories from people living outside their country of birth as well as stories created by their children and grandchildren. Immigrant Stories also welcomes stories from international students, international adoptees, and people who do not feel that their stories fit a particular, or just one, category. All stories are important, and we invite you to make a video and share yours with us.

And I don’t have that. I have a really short story that I\ngathered from different websites and I don’t really even know if it’s\ntrue.\nI know that in 1637 William B. Story, who I am supposedly\nrelated to, but I don’t really know, arrived on the east coast of the\nNew World from Norwich, England. He arrived on a ship called either\nthe “Rose” or the “John and Dorothy.” He was a servant to a man named\nSamuel Dix who was a joiner so we assume that Story was an apprentice\nin that trade. When he settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts, he later\nmarried a woman named Sarah Foster in 1640. She was also an English\nsettler who had immigrated from Norwich to Ipswich, and she was 20\nyears old when they were married.\nThe two went on the have 9 children together and their family\neventually spread throughout the northeast of what is now America.\nThat’s all I’m positive about. I can assume that because he lived in\nIpswich, he was probably a Puritan. It had been settled by John\nWinthrop the Younger, son of John Winthrop. So we can assume that his\nreligion was what brought him here. Along with his trade as a joiner,\nto help colonize and build a new community in this new country. And\nthat’s all I know. It’s a really short story and I’m not exactly sure\nif it’s true or accurate. But that’s what I have.", "kaltura_video": "1_m38mf49b", "page_count": 0, "record_type": "primary", "first_viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "attachment": "145.pdf", "attachment_format": "pdf", "document_type": "item", "featured_collection_order": 999, "date_added": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_added_sort": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_modified": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "_version_": 1710348538424066048, "type": "Moving Image", "collection": "p16022coll554", "is_compound": false, "parent_id": "333", "thumb_url": "https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/1369852/thumbnail/entry_id/1_m38mf49b", "thumb_cdn_url": "https://dkp5i0hinw9br.cloudfront.net/c342c64f97b35f4da98b601e300aa8fe8cd7fccc.png", "children": [ ] }
