My husband has told me that he accesses the ships list databases via Cyndi's list. Her newest home page is well worth studying and surfing. One link to Ellis Island records from her page is: http://www.ellisislandimmigrants.org/ellis_island_records.htm But it links you to Ancestry.com. You would do just as well to go to the Ellis Island site directly. You can probably use Ancestry.com databases free at your local public library, at a local LDS FHC or maybe at a college or university library. My husband said there is a free database but I did not find it. I will ask him to demonstrate getting there ASAP. Karen

Karen and All; The Free Search of the Ellis Island Database is at http://www.ellisisland.org <http://www.ellisisland.org> To view the results, you must register - but registration is free.

For earlier NY arrivals try: www.castlegarden.org Currently the site hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original ship manifests. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold Kralik" <hkralik@execpc.com> To: <GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 5:40 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Bremen Ships List > Karen and All; > > The Free Search of the Ellis Island Database is at > http://www.ellisisland.org <http://www.ellisisland.org> > > To view the results, you must register - but registration is free. > > > ==== GERMAN-BOHEMIAN Mailing List ==== > Would you like to see messages that were posted before you joined the > list?
