Ok folks, This is probably old news to all of you, since I"m the last to learn abt anything new and exciting but, I thought I'd share this with you in the rare event no one out here has heard. Starting next Monday (thou it could be now for all I know - I'm so informed) Ellis Island Org. revamped from so much popularity and will have every immigrant that ever came through it's doors ONLINE for all of us genealogist enthusists. I caught this on the evening news yesterday, along with the entire nation. Just head straight for http://ellisislandrecords.org/ But, let me forwarn you now; I tried twice today and a blank page came up that said "Too much traffic on server" try and later! So.... if you can get through. I'd say between EST and PST set your alarms on the East Coast for 4:00 a.m. and on the west coast 2:00 a.m. and for those of you in middle - well, you're on your own;) kidding now! Really... Let me know if you have any luck. God knows I didn't.

Chrystie, I found the Ellis Island database at Rootsweb Review, vol 4, No, 15 on Apr 12- 01. When I first went to it, I got on just fine but haven't been able to since because of the reason you stated. I went to the Immigrant "Wall of Honor" and I think I found my grandmother from Czekoslavakia.
