Cindy, Finding my relatives on Carpenter Street is going to be my June project. There are literally thousands of Adams in that city. Were you able to get a first initial or name for me to start with whom the fellow from Union will be visiting? This is going to be exciting I hope! For those of you who have or haven't perused the Ellis Island passenger records as yet in search of your immigrant ancestors, please take note that the original ship manifests cover many pages. So when you click on the button that brings you to the manifest, usually it starts on the second page of the selected passenger's info. If you click Next or Previous you'll get to the page starting with Column 1. On that page you'll find, among other things, the passenger's parent's name, their occupation, and their abiliy to read and write English. www.ellisislandrecords.org You'll need to register for free in order to do searches and the like. It's a great resource and has opened up my eyes especially in regard to the living patterns and mobility of my ancestors.
