Good morning Berenice, I am on the east coast of America, if you have access to any of the following web sites you should find some information, www.Ancestry.com www.RootsWeb.com www.Familysearch.org I know in www.RootsWeb.com I can access some information from across the big pond. So you should be able to access information over here. Plus the last 2 web sites are free. Also I just joined the following web site and found your George Linklater's passenger record. If you go to www.ellisisland.org and sign up you will find him to. (its free) You may e-mail me direct at wbshort7777@coastalnow.net Good luck, Bill and Rachelle Short In America ----- Original Message ----- From: "Berenice Graham" <Berenice@graham1755.fsnet.co.uk> To: <PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 2:33 PM Subject: [PAPHL] Where to find death records? > Hhi List > This is the first time that I have mailed here, though I have been > watching the list for a while.
