Hi Folks, I submitted an FOIA form to my nearest INS office asking for all Alien Registration documents pertaining to my gggf. She emigrated in 1900 and never naturalized. I provided over a dozen possible spellings of her surname, the exact year of her emigration, her DOB, her Death Cert, other family member names and addresses, etc. and offered the idea that the documents were likely at the Middle District Court in Scranton. A few weeks later I received my form back along with the some INS, nearest regional NARA, etc. pamphlets and absolutely no explanation, nothing highlighted, no comments. What exactly should my next step be ? Did I just get a clueless person at the local INS ? Should I send my form directly to the Middle District address instead ? Thanks, Catherine

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it closely. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I THINK IT'S ADAM'S UNDERWEAR Find the best deals on the web at AltaVista Shopping! http://www.shopping.altavista.com

Hello Listers...greetings from Australia! I wish to purchase the marriage certificate of Patrick D McGREEVY to Lucy (unknown) in PA 1877/1878. I assume it was in PA, because Lucy was born there. Patrick and family were listed in the 1900 Census for Pennsylvania, Luzerne County, Wilkes Barre City, 24 North Welles Street. Patrick was 50 years at the time of the Census. Looking forward to receiving your advice. Maureen Williams

Maggie, This William is my 4G Grandfather. I have no information at all on the children you list below, but had another daughter named Sarah (b. abt 1839) who married Benjamin WELCH. They had a daughter named Miriam. My line, however, descends from William's first marraige to Elizabeth DENISON...they had a son named Hiram who married Mary BROWNE, a girl supposedly from Ireland. How does this connect to you, besides the common William HANCOCK? I only have one more generation back from William, his father Jonathan.
