Categorization question

Question

My 2nd great grandfather emigrated (or is it immigrated?) from England to Canada about 1899.  Eventually he ended up in Arkansas.  Did I put him the right category - English Immigrants to Canada?  Also, is there a category for the move to Arkansas from Canada?

Comments

You are right.  Emigrate is leaving a country:  Your 2nd great grandfather emigrated from England.  Immigrate is to come into another country.  He immigrated to Canada.:)

Thanks for the clarification Laura and Saundra.  In addition to the English Immigrant to Canada, I also added Canada Immigrant to Arkansas (this is in red so if someone will add that I would greatly appreciate it).

Answer 1

Emmigrate is for people Entering (E =E)

Immigrate is for people coming Into a country (I=I)

Nothing stops someone from belonging in 2 categories. England to Canada

and Canada to US

ok but my NNS people - they came over but it was not yet a country, so they were settlers - and so they have their own category and do not need these - so only if some came after 1764 then they would be the immigrants right?
