Hi I have been at it again. Surfing and collecting links to add to my collection. These are pretty good genealogy links. Databases of ship passenger lists http://iigs.rootsweb.com/immships/ census databases, Texas research and Civil War research http://www.imagin.net/~tracers For those of you who have palatine ancestors this explains what that is http://genealogy.org:80/~palam/palatine.htm The soundex machine...helps with soundex codes http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/soundex/ I got these from another list I am on. I find the ship passenger's list pretty terrific! Maybe it will help you. Good luck and happy hunting! Sooz
