They also have an informative page regarding passports in general - for instance, passports were not mandatory until 1914. http://www.nationalarchivist.com/index04/about.cfm Kathy Orlando, FL, USA -----Original Message----- From: Christa Le Vine [mailto:christalevine@btinternet.com] Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2004 4:54 AM To: DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [D-G LIST] PIKE Index - passport applications I wonder if anyone can tell me about the above index. I was told that this is an index of passport applications (English) and am wondering if this is available on-line or where do I need to go to look at it. I am looking for Thomas BACON who moved from England to USA around 1870-1880 ALSO Daniel CADDELL who moved from Scotland to NY, USA around 1881 many thanks for your time, Christa Le Vine Kent ==== DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY Mailing List ==== ********************************************************************* If you have any problems with this list or any of its members please contact the listowner....Tom Welch....tomas@directcon.net ******************************************************************** ==== DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY Mailing List ==== @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ To reach every member of the list : Send Email to .......
