This may help some of you out: [OliveTreeGenealogy] Immigration, Census, Obits, Letters and more from Olive Tree Genealogy From: "olivetreegenealogy" <otg@csolve.net> To: OliveTreeGenealogy@yahoogroups.com Hello everyone, I've got a lot of new items to tell you about today. First great news: Ancestry is offering free access to their recently updated online ship passenger lists and immigration records collection from November 9-30, 2006. All you need to do is register, no credit card is required. This includes their newly updated New York passenger lists database, from 1820-1957. Ellis Island website online only goes to 1924 so this is your chance to search for elusive ancestors in that later time period. Steve Morse has created one of his wonderful ONE STEP search engines for this database. See http://www.stevemorse.org/ More ships passenger lists can be searched at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ ::snip:: I have many resources listed at http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/06/immigration-and-emigration.html Hope this helps, Valorie
