Hello fellow researchers, This looked worth passing on ARCHIVE PUTS HUDDLED MASSES ON-LINE - Volunteers scanning Ellis Island Records. (SF Examiner 2/2/99) Climbing the family tree will take a lot less clawing as soon as a nonprofit foundation finishes a more than $15 million project to post Ellis Island immigration records on the internet. By helping people to access information instantly that previously was buried in a bureaucratic quagmire, the project will revolutionize genealogical research for many of the more than 113 million Americans who already actively pursue their family histories. Officials at the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation in NY, the same organization that gave Lady Liberty a face lift in 1986 without any public funding, estimate that more than 40% of Americans can trace their European ancestry back to Ellis Island. "This is going to be a reference point", said Vern Deubler, Pres. of the Calif. Genealogical Society, which was based in San Francisco for a century before moving to Oakland this year. "It's going to provide people with very important leads". By the end of next year, the foundation hopes, people will be able to enter any information they know about a progenitor and the program will search more than 20 million records for a match. The software will even be able to tolerate misspellings. If a match is found, the researcher can choose to print out a photo of the ship and a copy of the original manifesto that marked the immigrant's arrival. At Fisherman's Wharf on Monday, Stephen Briganti, Chairman of the foundation, said the new database would especially help Bay Area researchers. He said the Bay Area remains one of the major hubs for Eliis Island immigrants and their descendants. Tens of thousands of immigrants came here after arriving through the port, first to fuel the Industrial revolution and later to farm wine grapes. He said first generation travelers from the main Ellis Island years - 1892 to 1924 - still live in the area. Briganti added that Californians' interest in Ellis Island immigration research, based on requests for the foundation's resources, is outstripped only by New yorkers'. The database - which organizers say could be ready by the end of 2000 - will catalog records of almost 20 million immigrants who flooded the tiny NY Harbor island. Until now, those documents have been stored at the National Archives and Immigration and Naturalization Service in the clunky microfilm format. The first phase of the project was to collect and digitize records and install computers at the museum. Now, Briganti said, putting the information on the Internet has become a top goal as well. "We're pretty confident this is going to work," Briganti said. "It's not perfect, but it's light years ahead of going to the Archives." A demonstration of the system showed that a researcher can enter information in any or all of 11 fields, which ask for personal information such as the subject's name and country of birth, and immigration, like the subject's port of entry. Foundation spokeswoman Peg Zitko said the project got off the ground when a nationwide network of Mormon volunteers agreed to digitize the microfilm information for free. Thousands of volunteers have logged more than 2 million hours; they've entered 3/5's of the data so far. A spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City said the project was important to the church's mission. "We've always been involved in genealogy," said Dan Rascon, "because linking to our family helps us understand who we are and what we may become." Information on the project may be found at www.ellisisland.org on the Internet.

I am looking for information on Mary Jane LONG (1845-1902). She married Samuel G CUNNINGHAM (1848-1871) in Monroe County (Dec 24 1871). I am looking for her family. I received info from somewhere (can't remember) showing her parents are Abraham and Hester LONG. I have been told that this is not possible. Any information appreciated. Dan C

If anyone has access to county directiores for Monroe County, I would appreciate a look-up for the name John W. Junkins, prob. in Salem Twp. This would be for @ 1900. Thanks, Martha

My ggrandfather was Samuel DIXON. He is reported to have been born in Richmond, VA (whether city or county, I don't know) about 1815. On Jan. 1, 1839 (or Jan. 3, depending on the source), he married my ggrandmother, Delila(h) FIGLEY in Harrison CO, OH. They lived in and around Monroe CO during their married life. They had six children. Albert, Joseph, William, Elizabeth, John and Thomas (b. 7/6/1855 in Monroe Cty, Washington Twp., OH). I am descended through Thomas. Delilah was living with her brother (Robert FIGLEY) and sister-in-law (Canzada WOODYARD Figley) in 1870 in Scipio Twp, Meigs, OH. Samuel was not listed as living with them. However, I have not been able to find dependable documentation of: Samuel DIXON's birth place or date. What happened to him? Where he died and was buried. Anything about him prior to his marriage. Is anyone else researching this branch of the DIXON family? I know that there is a large contingent of cousins, etc. still living in that area. I would love to hear from anyone that might have Samuel in their family tree or have additional information about him. If anyone has access to information about Samuel DIXON, I would appreciate any help you can give me. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ Maryann Dixon Moseby Mailto: dixlan2@aol.com ICQ: 1631995, AOL IM: dixlan2 Geneology Lines: BUCHANAN, BUCK, CLINE, DIXON, FIGLEY, HABARLE/HEBERLY, HALL, HYDER, ICE, KING, McCLENDON, McELROY, McVAY, MOSEBY, MOSIER ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Does anyone have information on the Wichterman or Schneider families of Monroe County in the time period 1830-1880? My Frederick Wichterman married Elizabeth Schneider in 1876 in Monroe County. I have no information on the Schneider family, although she had several siblings. They had to leave the state, so we lost track of the Wichterman family there also. Any leads would be appreciated. Larry Wichterman

Someone had posted online about their Jones family along with their webpage address. I am related to Sabrah Robinson who married Thomas Jones. My computer "ate" my saved email before I could respond that that person........ please re-post or email me privately Thanks Cathy
