Does anyone know how to access the VERY OLD passenger lists ( or is there such a varmit?). Ellis Island is wonderful if your ancestors came over in the late 1800's. Also can anyone tell me about how and when the boundries changed in the New England states?? I am so confused.. I can't find anything on my Clark parents both b) in Mass( this from 1860 Cabell Co (WVA census of the son). The son William Lyman Clark was born ca 1811 in VT (date born from tombstone and where born from the 1860 Cabell Co (W)VA census). If mother was between the ages of 16 and 35 she would have been born as late as 1795 or as early as 1776. Father (who I believe fought in the revolutionary war) was between the ages of 19 and 55, he would have been born as late as 1792 or as early as 1756. William Lyman Clark m1) Charlotte __(?)__ in Augusta Me, (She and both parents listed as b) Me). m2) Julia Ann Newell aslo b) Augusta Me. My Grandmother (Agnes Clark Collins) always said her Clark ancestors were English. I have exhausted most of my resources and still no clue. HELP !!!! Barbara Harvey
