I have a GGGRandfather that I found in 1880. He was in Chicago. I have = looked for years, can't find exactly where he was when he came over. I = have his and his wive's names but can't find place, date of birth, = marriage I know the wife was b in Ireland, other records about him, I can't find = and disagree. Haven't found immigration year. Know they lived in = Liverpool a lenght of time before they immigrated. This came from one = page of a mail my GGGrandmother received from her sister in Brooklyn in = 1929. I have all the children but lost one and am sure he left that = area and went elsewhere. The Grandchildren I have also, b in U.S. There are more I have like that. This way is much easier than census lookups, they are coming form = someone else who has done the research and found them, now sharing the = information with others. Having marriage or birth place makes an enormous difference. You have = something to work with. When you find them in U.S. right after = Immigration, then see the pattern of their migration to where they = actually settled, it helps a great deal easier to find them. They usually went to where friends went, so occupation and place of birth = really are vital and help so very much. Possibly you have knowledge of where your ancestors were from and just = where they settled in U.S. Very few families stayed in area they first = lived in U.S. If so you are very lucky.
