To List, Can anyone help Ian Brown with the below query? Please reply to him, or back to the list as I am only forwarding the query. Bill Klauk ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 1:16 PM Subject: WWI Shipyards I am looking for any information on federal shipyards in Erie, PA in operation during WWI. My grandfather was a Swedish immagrant and carpenter who was sent to help in one of these shipyards in lieu of deportation. It didn't seem as though your military index would help with this information, and I understand that this may not be the proper venue for this query, but any response at all would be greatly appreciated. I also wanted to add that this website seems quite further developed than our Onondaga County New York GenWebsite. Keep up the good work! Thanks again. Ian Brown Syracuse, New York

Here's a multimedia site for the Library of Congress that might give you some leads to the information you are seeking: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html Click on Search Enter the word shipyard in the Search field You'll end up with about 326 hits and will enjoy looking through just about everyone! Good luck...
