NARA Releases Access to Archival Databases System On February 12, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) made available their "Access to Archival Databases (AAD) System" to the public via their website, http://www.archives.gov/aad/ . AAD provides researchers access to over 350 databases containing over fifty million historical electronic records created by more than twenty federal agencies. Researchers may search these records by first choosing from subject, geographic area, organization, time span, and creator. Drop down menus are available for each of these search options, to help the user quickly find the information needed. Once a specific database is selected and submitted, a general database page appears, showing the creator of the record, a brief description, and a link to a more detailed page. From this page users may search for information contained in the file. A small selection of the databases available are as follows with descriptions taken from the website: * Korean War File of American Prisoners of War , ca. 1950 - ca. 1953 * World War II Prisoners of War File , ca. 1942 - ca. 1947 * Index to the Gorgas Hospital Mortuary Death Records (Contains "records of 26,213 U.S. military soldiers and officers, employees of the Panama Canal Commission and its predecessors, and Canal Zone civilians processed through the Gorgas Hospital Mortuary between 1906 and 1991.") * Famine Irish Data File (Identifies "604,596 persons who emigrated from Ireland to the United States during the era of the Irish Potato Famine [1846-1851], and the ships on which they arrived.") * Civil War Events File, 4/12/1861 - 5/13/1865 "Of 10,500 armed conflicts in the military history of the Civil War, the file contains information on 384 conflicts that the Commission identified as the principal battles. Each record identifies the following information: state and county or counties of the historic site, the type of battle or event that occurred there, the theater of operations and the campaign to which the engagement relates, the dates of the battle or event, the current ownership of the site, and the assessment of three subject area experts of the military significance, physical integrity, historic preservation status, and interpretive potential of the site or event, and whether it should be a priority for protection of cultural property."

Does anyone have John Simmons married Mary "Polly" Crockett in their families? This would have been about 1800 (the marriage). This could have become a Seaman (s) family. They were in Tennessee. I would like to compare descendants.

I'm interested in info about my grandfathers family tree. I don't have much info on my fathers family tree. His name was FREDERICK JAMES SEAMAN b Nov 20,1881 @147 Tulse Hill, London. Married to BESSIE MANN on July 5,1905 in Holy Trinity Church of Tulse Hill-a suburb of London. Immigrated to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ... He had a brother Arthur Seaman who immigrated I think to Canada also and then to Milwaulkie, Wisconsin, or Chicago Ilinois. They were both Green Grocers- when in England. I believe that they had 2 sisters also. I don't think this helps you, but at some point we might be related.?? His father was also Frederick Seaman also- I think. Good luck in your search. If you happen to find any info that might help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joan

I now have a copy of the 4 volume set of books relating to the Beekman Patent in the Dutchess County, NY area. There are a mass of references in it to both the SEAMAN and CRONK/et al families ranging from marriages & histories to grocery store receipts. If you know you have relatives in that area in that time frame, I'll be glad to look them up but please don't ask for "All SEAMANs" or "All CRONKs" - there is just too much info. Due to my schedule, it may take me a bit of time to handle the requests, so please be patient.
