Hi! Alicia, I would like to thank you very much for bringing Ancestry's free shipping lookup offer to the attention of list members. I spent many hours searching and did come up with one piece of good information. Found my Thomas & Eliz. PETERS (both born 1838 Cornwall) & their children George/ William George (born 1860 Cornwall) & Catherine Jane (born 1865 Cornwall) departing Liverpool & arriving in New York 2 June 1865. Another son Thomas( born about 1870 MI) was born after their arrival in the U.S. The family is in Schoolcraft for the 1880 census. I believe Thomas Snr., his wife & unmarried daughter are all buried in Forest Hill cemetery dying in 1917,1934 & 1902 respectively. Can anyone find this family on later census? Many thanks, Heather _________________________________________________________________ Enter the "Telus Mobility Xbox a Day" contest for your chance to WIN!
