I have a Liverpool family in my relatives who completely disappear without trace after he 1901 Census. I am wondering if the family emigrated. Such research would be a new field for me and I would welcome any advice to help me begin. I have no idea which country may have provided a new home but I thought of starting with the USA. John

John, Try: http://stevemorse.org/ellis2/ellis.html This is a better way to go on the Ellis Island site for emigration to NY (this period is 1896-1924). His tools are much better than Ellis Island provides.

Hi John, My great-grandparents left Liverpool ~1875 but they left because they were labeled "Child Migrants." They were Age 14, but my great-grandmother's youngest siblings going with her were Ages 5 and 3. (All going to different families in Nova Scotia.) I have been learning about these children for 7 years. In Canada, they are known as "British Home Children." Because of my research, I have learned that people in Liverpool were leaving the country - by the thousands -- and heading out in many different directions. The "Child Migrants" were "shipped out" -- to wherever there was a "British Colony" or into Canada, or even some to the U.S. (Even in the 1600's.) So, people in Liverpool could have sailed out to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Africa, the Mediterranean, etc. When my great-grandfather left Liverpool in 1874, he left many LEWIS cousins, and uncles, aunts, etc. And, after 7 years on-line, I've never found anyone else researching them. So, I've always been curious whether some of the cousins moved to Australia, or other places, even North America. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (My great-grandparents moved from Nova Scotia to Boston, MA, in 1881.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Lloyd" <j_m_c.lloyd@virgin.net> To: <eng-liverpool@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 11:08 AM Subject: [ENG-LIV] Liverpool Emigration >I have a Liverpool family in my relatives who completely disappear without >trace after he 1901 Census.
