Hi Heather and everyone else who has replied, THANK YOU There are some brilliant ideas there - will definitely give them a shot Jennifer ----- Original Message ----- From: Heather Johnson<mailto:heatherannej@hotmail.com> To: petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com<mailto:petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com> Sent: 05 October 2006 18:14 Subject: Re: [PETRIE-SCOTLAND] - how to find shipping records Hi Jennifer, No doubt there will be better tips than this but here goes:- www.ellisisland.org<http://www.ellisisland.org/> for USA but don't think records start before 1892. I have found all my relatives I, personally, have looked for on there though. www.ancestry.com<http://www.ancestry.com/> I took someone's advice and did the 14 day free trial. I researched intensely and, well before the time was up, I cancelled. I had no problems what so ever and was impressed. www.coraweb.com.au/shipgeneral.htm<http://www.coraweb.com.au/shipgeneral.htm> www.searchforancestors.com/records/passenger_html<http://www.searchforancestors.com/records/passenger_html> A search engine search throws up so many links - it's worth you looking and see what takes your fancy in relation to who/when. My searches re Australia/Canada have been confined to message boards for relatives living today and I was successful!
