Nora, I filled in the form with as much information as I knew such as names and ages of the family, where they were living and where they were going. I also had an approximate period of years (1885/1887). They found most of the family. The 3 youngest children were not on the page they sent. I need to send another request as we are thinking that the cousins who gave me the information about my grandmother's grandparents emigrating after 1890 may have been incorrect. They may have been on the same ship and the other children may have been listed with them. Someone on another list told me to get the film from the LDS and look at it at one of their libraries and go through the whole manifest as sometimes they did not list all the family together for some reason. That is not so easy for me to do. None of my people can be found at Ellis Island as they all came before it opened. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Irishcolleen45@aol.com> To: <IRISH-AMERICAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 11:05 AM Subject: Re: Re: [Irish-American] Canadian border crossing immigrants > > Elaine, > > Thanks for the info.
