Yup Native born USers [South Americans call themselves "Americans" in reference to that location] once again get the shaft. I'm now calling it a terrorist friendly site> webcams scan the peripheral skies, tons of coloring book photos for illiterate illegals, and more photos & what my Irish mom called gimmicks, loaded to the brim with gimmicks. Oh, and a shop to buy Liberty Christmas tree ornaments stamped "Made in Taiwan" much like the schtuff schlocked at the City Store near Muni Archives. Buy your taxicab mug "Made in China." 'Twld be really nice if OUR historical, national monument was so claimed, as the Great Wall is to China, and the Eiffel Tower belong to France, and Big Ben belongs to the English, and the mud sod soil plenished by briny sweat of suffocated RCs belongs to the souls of them. It all goes to the highest bidder. -----Original Message----- From: Joyce Presnall [email protected] Agreed Barb, all they had to do was fix the fact that you could copy the manifests which was the main reason they changed the site...they were angry that people were "stealing" information that way...JMHO this should be public access data to start with Joyce On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 11:54 AM, mizscarlettny via <[email protected]> wrote: Let's collect email contacts for the Ellis Island Board of Directors.

This is just one more instance of native born Americans being disserviced by yet more surprises to our everyday life. This search engine is most likely willingly accessed by curious adults, who know what they are searching for. There was nothing wrong with the original search engine for the Ellis Island site. Some new age programmer decided to juice it up with larger photographs and more expansive linkage for a feather in a personal cap. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" is an adage that served our ancestors well; this is not about bunking change, it's about energies spent where they are needed.
