Try the following very long URL, which you may have to cut and paste in more than one section in order to get it all. It goes directly to the article. As a general rule, when you have an URL that is not accepted but there are several slashes, eliminate the last slash and see if that works. Then the next to last slash to see if that works, and so on. Then you may be able to maneuver to the right page. http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/fall_2000_us_canada_immigration_records_1.html Ernest Thode ernestthode@charter.net (Ernest Thode)

It also has film readers with interchangeable lenses, and an 87x lens reserved for use with that set. I can read those fiches at 50x as well as 87x, but the text in most of the books is rather small. From my experience I would think that any fiche reader with sufficient magnification can be used on LAC fiche. Austin W. Spencer "Austin W. Spencer" <AustinWSpencer@cox.net>

I came across this genealogy site a few days ago. It takes a long time to search thru all the links available, but many of them have turned out being very useful to me. Many of them aren't listed anywhere that I have found and are quite unique. It's free, no pop ups, no advertising... http://www.vanished.com/pages/unusual.html Have fun exploring!

Barbara > >bgastright@mindspring.com Divorce records in Clermont Cty, OH during the years 1851 to 1949, can be found in the county's Court of Common Pleas. While many counties in OH have a Court of Common Pleas address and phone number listed, Clermont is not one of those that I could find. However, you may want to write/call the Clermont County Clerk of the Court for the proper address to write to. On the other hand, good luck finding the correct Clermont Cty Clerk of the court! In less than 5 minutes worth of searching, I came up with 4 different addresses and phone numbers for the Clermont Cty Clerk of Court. You will probably definitely have to call first. Here is what I came up with: 1. 76 S. Riverside Dr, Batavia, OH, 45103 513-732-7560 2. 101 E. Main St, Batavia, OH, 45103, 513-732-7236 3. 150 Cemetery Rd, Milford, OH, 45150, 513-831-9474 4. 128 Front St, New Richmond, OH, 45157, 513-553-4328 I would try calling the first two first since Batavia is the county seat. Good luck in your search. Kimber k727h@aol.com (Kimber)

I am trying to confirm the Death of Philip Livingston in 1981 (could be off by a year?) in an automobile accident in the Dallas, Texas area. I haven't been able to find any record of it. The SSN number that I have doesn't show in the SSN death index, but maybe it or the death index is inaccurate. It seems that Automobile fatalities of non-minors should be listed somewhere else. Can anybody direct me? Thank you Kay ------- End of Forwarded Message "introspectre" <introspectre@earthlink.net>

Some found and i confrimed this entry on the Ellis Island site: Passenger: Weaver, George U.S. Citizen Date of Arrival: July 30, 1906 Age: 38y Sex: M Marital Statis: S Ship: Prince Arthur Port of Departure: Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada When I click on the picture of the Manifest the ship Finland shows up and not the Prince Arthur. Therefore I cannot find the port of arrival but think it is NYC. However the Prince Arthur ususally sailed Yarmouth to Boston. I tried searching for a G Weaver born in Canada about 1868 from 1895 - 1906 with only one hit in 1897! Does the data base include Boston entries? Why if I put a wide range of arrival years do I get only one hit but if I put in 1906 - 1910 I get about 5? bob gillis bob gillis <rpgillis@bellatlantic.net>

What I showed is that my ancestor married somebody who no one claims is a Pocahontas descendent. Thus whether she has living descendents, as far as my ancestry goes, is moot.

On a Canadian list I was directed to an excellent article on the Saint Albans Lists where many you may find how to discover where and when you ancestor came to the USA and there is no record in the Ellis Island web site or in other Port Passenger Arrivals Lists. Go to http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/fall_2000/ and scroll to the article. Select the printable version and save to file. The printable version is in such small type, 6 or 7 points, so I highlighted the text and copied and pasted into a new document with a font of 10. The number of pages went from 3 to 7 but it was easily read by my older eyes. bob gillis bob gillis <rpgillis@bellatlantic.net>

Does anyone know how to get info about a divorce from Clermont County. Charles Parker divorced his first wife before 1924 but sometime around 1921 or 1922. I don't know her name but he had two children as well. Barbara bgastright@mindspring.com
