Dear List, I have been looking for years and years for the ship papers showing Daniel Scanlon onboard. People on this list tried to help me. Although I have a subscription to Ancestry, I went into the new immigration site. I knew the ship's name. I knew the date of landing in New York. Everyone said oh, look at Ellis. Baloney! He came over in 1926 AFTER Ellis closed!! Now I found him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is his visa number which I did not have before. He seems to have received his visa in Cobh. You should be able to hear me screaming when I found that information. Thank you all who tried to help me. Alanna

That's great news, Alanna, but do tell us how you discovered it- we, all, might learn something elusive.

Congratulations. We all like to hear "Good News" stories. I keeps us going when we seem to be getting nowhere. Can imagine your joy - I know I yelled and danced when I finally found my granny after 25 years of searching - one on the third last frame of the film I was reading. Give us all heart.
