Listers, I recently received this information from another list I belong to: Boston College recently announced it's putting online the "The Search For Missing Friends" column through which Irish immigrants tried to find relatives and friends they'd lost track of. It previously was available only as an eight-volume collection of books. The database is at www.infowanted.bc.edu There was a long article about the ads and the database in the Boston Globe at the following address: < http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2005/03/17/the_irish_imm igrant_past_gets_tie_to_today/> FYI: Apparently the Boston Globe article about the database was free only the first day it appeared. When I linked to the Boston Globe address, the article was not free unless you have a subscription with the Boston Globe. Fortunately, you don't need to read the article to use the database. Good luck, Barbara Brown

Barbara, Thank you for the site, very interesting and very easy to use. I haven't found any one yet but I'll keep looking. Marjorie L.
