Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a form for doing Abstracts from a Passenger List? I am looking at a ship's passenger list from the Port of Baltimore in 1912, and I can't read all the headers on the list. I was hoping there would be a form that would explain all the blocks, etc. Thanks. kathy

If a person would have taken a steamship from NY state to San Juan in 1850-- #1 Where would they have been going? Calf? Peru? Puerto Rico? #2 Is there a way of knowing what the trip would have cost? #3 Can anyone know when they would have come back from that trip? #4 thanks for helping me........I am still tracking a poverty (?) gr gr grandfather and his father-in-laws travels....... Kay

Does anyone know of a site online where I might find a list of all steamships that arrived in the Port of Baltimore in 1902? I just need the name of a ship to compare it to a Ship's Passenger List Index on which the name of the ship is unreadable. Thank you. kathy

Hello, Kay. Here's a tip on a migration map source that you may own already. In the back of Everton's _Handy book for genealogists,_ 8th edition, there are six maps of migration trails for the eastern U.S., midwestern, south central and southeastern states -- also "Canals and the Cumberland Road 1785-1850," and "Railroads by 1860." (I don't know if the same maps are in the recent 9th edition.) Cheers, Dolly in Maryland

I have come to a conclusion that I sure need some reference materail to post next to the genealogy work area, and in the notebook I take with me. Is there a site to get migration routes from Europe to USA/colonies? Is there a migration route in the US as we went westward etc? Also is there a date chart that I can look up what might have happened in the year of XXX?? I have a relative that was going from WI to OR in about 1845, and returned in 1847, only to go to Calf in 1850. Later he took a serious religious conviction and joined a church. Did he go to Oregon with the Morman movement? And then did gold fever hit him? And was it possible that his 16 yr old son was killed in the Civil War? and another cousin was about 16 and died in NY......did that happen near the time that the teenage boys held off the general coming to fight from the Canadian border........and did the Norway family come because>..........and GET the IDEA?? Thanks for the help!!! Kay in NC

Denise, I am aware of Cook County (Chicago), lllinois, because my research lies there. Hopefully, someone else can respond to your question. The states are not uniform in what they are offering on the internet. Good luck with your research!

Hi, Thought ya'll (yes I'm a Texan) might be interested in some of the free things for genealogists on the net. I have a page full of them at Freebies for Genealogists: http://www.imagin.net/~tracers/freebies.htm Happy Searchin' Brenda

The postings on postal workers have reminded me I must try a bit harder to trace my ggrandfather. He worked for British Rail (probably) at Derby Kettering and in London up until the 1880's. Has anyone any experience of researching ancestors via their railway links or are there simply no remaining records. Philip Baxter

The same was true for Postal. They also paid into a separate retirement plan, which they then received their benefits from that pool, instead of from Social Security. --- Mysearch4you@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 8/20/2000 3:01:12 PM Pacific > Daylight Time, > GenTips-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: > > > They paid into a separate retirement plan for > government employees > > and would have received this retirement instead > of Social Security. > > My father was a civilian employee for the Navy at > that time and did not pay > into social security.
