I'm quoting the LDS site at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/rg/guide/Usout9.asp

"Passports were not required of U.S. citizens before World War 1, but many were issued to those traveling abroad. Passport applications usually provide the names, ages, places of residence, and personal descriptions of individuals intending to travel outside the United States. They sometimes include the exact dates and places of birth and arrival in the United States. The Family History Library has collections of passport records and indexes from the National Archives including:

United States. Immigration and Naturalization Service. Passport Applications, 1795-1924; Indexes, 1830- 1831, 1850-1852, 1860-1925. Washington, D.C.: Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1985. (On 2,090 FHL films starting with 1429876; computer number 437973.)
Other passport records and indexes are listed under computer numbers 559568, 558985, and 627535. They are also listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under UNITED STATES - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION. Later records are generally restricted and are in the custody of the U.S. Department of State."

Hi

Would appreciate some information about getting passport information for
family who traveled in the 1920s.

I have my father's passport book when he returned as a young boy with his
sisters after being orphaned in Greece. The children were all born here. Did he
and his sisters need passports to leave the country with their parents or
were they allowed to travel abroad on their parent's passports.

If they did need passports how would I go about finding them? Can this be
done by mail or internet? Also for my grandparents who came to America abt. 1910.

Thank you for your help
Marie
