This research paper investigates the immigration of foreign born to the United States and their settlement into different areas of Beverly MA. Occupations of immigrants often were a reflection of their ethnic background, (for example, Italians were businessmen while Irishmen were laborers). Sources include many documents from the US Department of Commerce, census records and other secondary sources.
