HANCOCK; Sheffield, ENG; 1850- information sought about family HANCOCK in England. Pete Hancock <[email protected]>

AGATER; POL > ENG; 1905-1999 In 1905, a member of my maternal family, Shinye AGATER emigrated to the United States, but because of an illness, he was not allowed to enter. He was deported back to Europe. His son who was already living in New York City left and returned with his father. It is possible that he stayed in England. AGATER is an unusual family name and I have not found anyone with this name who was not family. I understand there are individuals in England with this name and would appreciate hearing from them. In addition, other family members may have emigrated to England directly from Poland during the above time period. Thank you, Paul Baranik New York City USA <[email protected]> Paul Baranik

Being Dutch, being married to a German and having worked for the US Army in Germany, I think I am not totally wrong if I call the Netherlands 'Holland'. Especially not since recently somebody from the USA asked me if 'Netherlands was the capital of Amsterdam'!!! Most of the people in other countries use 'Holland'. Also there was a discussion, not so long ago, about how to call the 'lower countries' (or Les Pays Bas in French) on the alt.genealogy newsgroup, and most of the people there used Holland, meaning all of the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. That's why I did it. Maybe this is an interesting topic for the newsgroup soc.genealogy.benelux?? Although I will not start it!!!

JOHNSTON; IRL>CAN; c.1888-1915 Looking to find relatives and ancestors of William Johnston, born about 1888, I believe in Belfast. He worked for Harland & Wulff as and Engine Fitter, and installed boilers aboard the Titanic. He probably emigrated to Canada around 1915 or so. He was an Engine Fitter, and we have his certificate. Any leads would be appreciated. Lorie Lorie Begin <[email protected]>

Frans, dankje, for the fine info. If only Americans were as sophisticated as the Dutch! I spent two years in the Netherlands (never would I call it 'Holland') and came to know and love the Dutch people mightily. There is much to be taken from your point regarding the German-Dutch relations. I found that the Dutch can understand the Germans, but not the other way around. enjoyed your bit of history...
